suited to regular users.<\/p><p>Registration in Cl@ve requires an initial identity verification, in person, by video or with an existing certificate.<\/p><p>Many expats maintain both systems, using Cl@ve on the phone for quick queries and the <strong>digital certificate Spain<\/strong> on the computer for signatures and filings.<\/p><h2>Digital certificate and Cl@ve compared<\/h2><table
