After the departure of a new official app the state of Spain that allows us Take our DNI on the iPhonemany people have begun to wonder if it really is reliable, or it is a form of control that we can suffer from the government.
Today we are going to see the advantages and possible disadvantages that this technology has, so that, voluntarily, you decide whether to take your document on the mobile, or continue using the physical, since it is not mandatory and it is only something optional that allows us to do from now.
Advantages of having the DNI on the iPhone
- Comfort: Not having to carry more documents with you than the simple iPhone makes it easy to go to sports, or go for a drink without worrying the wallet or other accessories to carry this type of cards.
- Security: If you lose the iPhone, nothing will happen, since the protection measures that you have will prevent someone from accessing your data, unlike the physical ID, that if you are lost or steal, someone could use it for not very legal purposes.
- Simple procedures: Its implementation with online procedures means that we do not have to take photos of the physical document, or that we carry it at all times, being easier to take any of these steps.
- Automatic updates: If there is a change in the DNI format, although the physicist will have to renew it, in the digital we could see them at the time, without having to go through an office for this to be updated.
Disadvantages of having the DNI on the iPhone

- Battery unit: If we go out to take something, and we do not carry the wallet, it is a great option to use the iPhone, however, we depend on having energy in it, since if it goes out, we will have run out of the document that, physically, would never pass them.
- It will not always be accepted: It is being tried to implement in most uses, being valid for almost all day -to -day actions, but what happens in a disco? Does the goalkeeper have to know if that ID is true, or can it be modified by software, since it does not have a tool to read the code as the police have? It may not serve this format in some cases.
In summary, there are advantages and disadvantages for the use of this new app that has reached us all, so it will now depend on each person and their needs, if you think installing it will be useful, or dangerous.
