A few weeks ago, the General Directorate of Traffic launched a new application. We are talking about an app that drivers have been asking for for years and, finally, myDGT it is already a reality. We are talking about a service that offers you all kinds of functionalities with which get the most out of your driving license.
And, after a wait in which the app has been in beta without being able to make the most of its possibilities, now miDGT is fully functional. Do you drive regularly? Do not hesitate to install this development on your mobile phone, as it is much more useful than you imagine.
Is the miDGT app fully functional?
We are talking about a service whose objective is to make life easier for citizens. And yes, the official application of the DGT has a series of details that make it really useful. To begin with, the miDGT app allows you to carry any digital license, in addition to your main data as a driver.
In this way, you can carry the driver's license on your phone. Yes, as long as you are within national territory you can use your mobile phone as a driver's license. To do this, traffic agents have a tool that, through the unit’s QR code generated by your device, they will be able to see all your information.
And beware, although miDGT is still in the testing phase, the intention of the General Directorate of Traffic is to greatly expand its functionalities. In this way, you will be able to receive notifications of notices and sanction payments, manage all kinds of fees, request an appointment in advance at the DGT offices, see which vehicles appear in your name as well as any other procedure that occurs to you related to your car.
Carrying the driving license on your mobile is its great functionality
Without a doubt, the great functionality of miDGT comes with the possibility of carrying the driving license on your mobile phone. To begin with, thanks to this you will be able to leave the original at home (ideal to avoid the terrible queues at the DGT if you have to renew this document), in addition to being able to see at all times the number of points you have left.
Once you have downloaded the application, you will have to enter your data. Now, select the language you want to use in the app. For this, Spanish, Galician, Catalan, Basque or Valencian are available. Now, you just have to click to continue and accept the Terms and Conditions. The next step will be to log in with your electronic identity through Cl @ ve.
And here the good stuff starts: choose the method to verify your identity (either through the Cl @ ve system, identification by code or filling in personal data. Once you have filled in everything, you will have the miDGT application ready to be used. More than anything because, the next thing you will see is that all your data appears fully automatically in the application.
From that moment on, you will be able to see all data related to the General Directorate of Traffic. In this way, you will have the possibility of managing any procedure related to your car, such as paying fines and taxes or seeing the vehicles that are under your name, in addition to having your driving license virtually at the terminal at all times.
Obviously, you will not need to carry a driver's license within Spain (outside it will be necessary since traffic agents from other countries do not have the corresponding application to be able to read the QR code of your device), but it is still excellent news for the hundreds of thousands of common conduits. Of course, never run out of battery in your phone, you could get into trouble if you can't prove that you have a driver's license on you ...
