There is already a date for the entry into force of the new European DNI. It will be on August 2, and its objective is to give a common framework to the different ways of identification that exist in our continent. The member countries are going to reinforce the security of this document significantly, and one of the most interesting news is that it will exist in a digital version. Therefore, it would not be necessary for you to carry it in your wallet, as it happens with our circulation permit. If you want to know more about the new European DNI, do not miss the details that we have prepared about it, what are the main changes and above all, if when are you going to be able to request and use it
How is the new European DNI
This DNI has the same size measurements as the current one, and in the case of Spain, it will be found in Spanish and English, the latter language that will be present in all the documents of the countries that begin to use it. It will include the flag of the country of the Union in which that DNI has been issued. This DNI, which has been called 4.0 , comes to implement new security measures that exceed those of the previous one, 3.0. Spain has advanced in this way in 2 months to the fulfillment of the indicated date . Therefore, as of next August 2, it may be issued at any DNI issuing office. As a curiosity, the first DNI has been issued at the Móstoles police station for the actress Luisa Martín.
Will I be able to have the DNI on my mobile device?
Yes, in fact, the European Union is already designing and finishing launching an app that will be common to everything in a continental environment. This application will make use of biometric identification systems, such as the face or the fingerprint. It involves adding another layer of security to a new DNI that will obviously be more complex to forge. This measure, the launch of a common app, is due to the desire to alleviate the digital divide that exists between the different member countries of the Union.
What can I do with the new ID?
The new DNI is emerging as a real key to carry out a multitude of procedures. From renewing your transport pass to opening a bank account in any member country, something that would come in handy for Erasmus + students. The range of possibilities is greater than that of the current DNI, with the addition of having expanded security measures. Among them, a larger photo with parts in high relief, as well as UV inks.
When can I get the new ID?
These new DNIs will be issued from August, therefore, all the cards that are processed from that date will already have the new configuration. Remember that from 180 days before its expiration date you can start processing your new ID. It is expected that during the fall the new mobile app will be launched that will allow you to carry it on your phone with full validity.
