Hello everybody,
Hope you're all having a great Summer!
Coming back to you with a question (after successfully managing to complete my Dad's tax returns for the past few years with your help) and I would be grateful for your wise guidance.
I am due to renew the digital certificate remotely on behalf of my Father (have already done so 3 years ago) but I noticed there was a mention of a 5 year max since the last physical identification.
Had a look around and am getting myself confused (I do not speak Spanish unfortunately) and I do not wish to send my elderly Father on a wild goose chase either!
- Am I correct in thinking that my Dad will have to go to get physically identify? (the certificate was first issued in 2011 in Spain, then renewed online in 2014)
- And if so, how do I proceed? Do I appy for the renewal online just like the last renewal, Dad goes to get identified and then I get access to the key?
Or do I send him with the number we were given first time round without applying for renewal online first?
- And if so (bis), can he be identified in an embassy abroad or does he have to go back to Spain?
Would love to have all my facts right before talking to Dad about it.

Many many thanks in advance,
