What is the digital certificate?

The digital certificate is a document issued to be able to verify your identity online unequivocally when carrying out procedures with the public administration.

For example, when you want to know your points on your driver’s license, make your tax return or any other direct procedure with the administration, the certificate will allow you to identify yourself.

In short, the substitute for usernames and passwords in public administration is the digital certificate.

Why should the self-employed have a digital certificate?

By being forced to join the RED system, the self-employed gained a strong reason to acquire this document. However, the main reason for having this type of certificate is given by the need to carry out electronic procedures that are part of the administrative obligations of the self-employed.

That is to say, the obligations that have to do with the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA), Social Security and the Tax Authorities.

What procedures can you manage with the digital certificate for the self-employed?

With the self-employed digital certificate you will be able to carry out multiple formalities related to the Social Security, the Treasury and the RETA. Through it, you will also be able to get all the information you need to carry out these formalities. Some of these are:

Just as you can carry out tax formalities as a self-employed person, you can also carry out other types of formalities related to the RETA, among which the following stand out:
