Electronic Headquarters Services (FAQs)

General Aspects

AUTOFIRMA. New Electronic Signature System
Autofirm@

In order to facilitate the use of the municipal e-Office, and given the ongoing compatibility issues with different browser versions and Java application versions, we have decided to implement the Autofirma component to enable electronic signatures in the municipal e-Office.

Autofirma is an electronic signature application developed by the Ministry of Finance and Public Administrations. It is executed from the browser (after being installed on the user's computer). Therefore, prior installation is necessary to carry out procedures in the municipal e-Office. To perform electronic signatures on this website, you must have AutoFirma installed on your device. Download the application.

Who can use the e-Office?

All citizens and legal entities who choose to interact with the City Council via the Internet and possess a recognized digital certificate.

The e-Office will be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Is it safe to use the identified services of the e-Office?
Yes, all information transmitted through services that require identification in the City Council's e-Office is encrypted. Furthermore, thanks to the implemented authentication system, it is ensured that only you, as the interested party in your procedures, can access both processing information and personal data queries.
How can I access the e-Office services?

Check the identification systems section of the e-Office.

How can I import my digital certificate?

INTERNET EXPLORER

To import a certificate in Internet Explorer, follow these steps:

Go to the Tools menu - Internet Options - Content - Certificates. The "Personal" tab (default) displays a screen with a list of personal certificates installed in our browser.

Click the "Import" button, and a wizard will appear to guide you through the certificate import process. Click the "Next" button, then browse to select the file path and name of the certificate you want to import, and click "Next".

In the next window, you will be asked for the password protecting the file. Enter it and check the box "Mark the private key as exportable" so that you can re-export the certificate with its private key and "Enable secure protection...". Click "Next".
You will then be asked where to place the imported certificate. Leave the default option selected, then click "Next" and "Finish". If you want to set a password for your certificate, click "Security Level" to set it to high. Assign a password and confirm it. Click finish, and you will be asked to enter the password again. Complete the wizard.

If everything is correct, a message will appear informing you that the certificate has been successfully imported.

FIREFOX

Go to the certificate store in Mozilla Firefox:

Tools menu / Options / Privacy & Security / Certificates / "View Certificates" button, "Your Certificates" tab.

  • Click the "Import" button
  • Locate the copy of your certificate that you want to import (hard drive, CD, USB memory, network drive).
  • Enter your browser’s master password (if you have set one). If this is your first time using this browser with certificates, set a password and confirm it. This password will be required each time you use your certificate on websites that require it.
  • Enter the password used to protect your backup copy.
  • If the process is successful, you will receive the following message:

"Your security certificate(s) and private key(s) have been successfully restored."

Electronic Register

What is the "Electronic Register"?
What is it?

The electronic register is similar to in-person registration. Citizens can submit documents to the City Council through this register without wasting time on travel and waiting.

How does the "Electronic Register" work?

Select the procedure you wish to carry out and check if it can be submitted through the Electronic Register. Fill in the required information on the form and attach any necessary documents to ensure the City Council can process it as quickly as possible. Once the procedure is completed, a submission receipt will be issued, which you can download and/or print.

The electronic register operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, except for interruptions necessary for technical reasons, which will be reported in the Service Interruptions section.

The City Council’s Electronic Register is governed, for deadline computation purposes, by the official date and time of the electronic headquarters. Regarding the computation of deadlines in business or calendar days, and concerning compliance deadlines for users, the following applies:

  • The reference date and time will be those in effect at the time of receipt or dispatch of the relevant request, document, or communication in or from the electronic register system.
  • Submissions received on non-business days will be considered received at the first hour of the next business day. For this purpose, the entry log will reflect the actual date and time of submission, but the confirmation message will indicate 00:01 of the next business day.
  • Non-business days for the Municipal Administration’s Electronic Register are those established as public holidays in the official labor holiday calendar of the Autonomous Community and local holidays of this Municipality. This calendar is published in the electronic headquarters under the section Non-Working Days Calendar.

To use the Electronic Register, you must use one of the Identification Systems established in the Electronic Headquarters. In addition, you must take into account the technical requirements and recommendations listed on the Technical Requirements page.

How can I submit a document to a file?
Through the "Document Submission" procedure, accessible from the procedure menu or the procedure catalog.
How can I submit a suggestion or a complaint?
Through the "Complaints and Suggestions" procedure, accessible from the procedure menu or the procedure catalog.

Electronic Notification

What is "Electronic Notification"?

Article 41.1 of Law 39/2015 on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations establishes the preferential nature of notifications by electronic means. In any case, they will be carried out in this way when the interested party is obliged to receive them through this channel.

Therefore, for those interested parties who are not obliged, electronic notification is voluntary. Individuals may decide and inform the City Council at any time whether subsequent notifications should be made electronically or not.

According to Article 43.1 of the same regulation, electronic notification must be carried out through the Electronic Headquarters portal, both for accessing electronic notifications from procedures voluntarily subscribed to and for those where electronic notification is mandatory.

In the case of users required by Art. 14.2 of Law 39/2015 on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations, this will be the means of notification used, due to the obligation to interact electronically with Public Administrations.

This service complies with the highest guarantees of confidentiality, authenticity, and privacy to ensure the identity of participants and the security of communications.

What do I need to register for the "Electronic Notification" service?
  • Identify yourself using an electronic signature certificate or an accepted electronic identification method.
  • Have an email address (in the case of required users).
  • Subscribe to the service.
How does "Electronic Notification" work?

Each time an electronic notification is made available, the City Council will send an informational email to the email address you provided. Please note that this email is for informational purposes only.

Regularly check your Electronic Notification Mailbox to verify if a new notification has been made available. Do not let more than 10 calendar days pass, as the regulatory framework establishes this period for you to access the notification. Otherwise, after this period, the City Council will consider that you have rejected the notification, and the act will be considered notified in all respects unless a technical or material impossibility of access is verified ex officio or at the request of the interested party.

In the mailbox, you can accept or reject new notifications. At that moment, the individual or legal entity will be considered notified and will be able to consult previously accepted or rejected notifications.

The acceptance or rejection of the notification will result in the issuance of the corresponding acknowledgment of receipt.

How do I subscribe/unsubscribe from the "Electronic Notification" service?

There are several ways to subscribe or unsubscribe from the electronic notification service.

1.- From the request "Subscription or unsubscription from electronic notifications"

We can choose 3 options:

  • In the electronic notifications mailbox of the Headquarters:
    • Allows subscription to the electronic notification service for all procedures available in the Electronic Headquarters.

    • Allows unsubscribing from the electronic notification service for all procedures available in the Electronic Headquarters.
  • I want to choose by type of procedure:
    • Allows subscription or unsubscription from the electronic notification service individually for each procedure available in the Electronic Headquarters.

 

2.- From the procedure itself

During the processing, the notification method is chosen.

  • Electronic notification: selecting this method subscribes you to the electronic notification service only for that procedure.

Other services

What functionality does the "Notice Board" have?

The electronic notice board allows replacing or complementing the publication on the traditional notice board, with all guarantees, as it is possible to sign and seal documents electronically to ensure the publication date and their immutability over time.

This facilitates access to information, as citizens can consult the electronic notice board via the internet, avoiding travel and making it much easier and more convenient to locate documents.

What does "Document Validation" consist of?

All documents electronically signed in the application include a Secure Verification Code (CSV) automatically generated.

Thus, when a paper copy is printed, this code acts as a "locator" of the document within the City Council's electronic file, granting the paper document the status of an authentic copy for all legal purposes.

If a citizen or another Administration receives the paper copy, they can verify the authenticity of the document very easily.

They simply need to access the City Council's electronic headquarters, go to the "Document Validation" service in the "Procedures" menu, and enter the identification code. At that moment, they will be able to download the original version of the document in electronic format and verify its authenticity.

You can access this service from the "Document Validation" option in the "Procedures" menu.
