We would like to inform you that, on 16 February, an improvement will be implemented in the telephone customer service system for RED Authorised Users and more specifically in the identification process, with the aim of reinforcing the security of the service, guaranteeing the correct identification of users and improving the quality of the service.

For this purpose, the call flow shall be amended as follows. First, the user must select option 1 RED Authorised and then enter their authorisation number, which will be automatically validated. Once you have passed this verification, you will hear the usual menu and, after selecting the desired option, you must indicate the type of identification document by selecting 1 if you have a DNI or 2 if you have a NIE. Subsequently, only the numbers of the document must be marked, following the indications of the voice: in the case of DNI, the numbers without the final letter and in the case of NIE, the numbers without the initial or final letter. The system will check that the document number entered corresponds to an authorisation user, allowing up to three attempts in case of error. 

This validation will be applied in the sub-options of the telephone numbers 901 50 20 50 and 91 541 02 91, corresponding to Registration and Settlement of Companies, Self-Employed and Household Employees, RED Authorised Management, e-Office, Notifications and Powers of Attorney, INSS IT Parts, Executive Collection and Regularisation of Self-Employed Contributions, as well as in option 1 of the RETA Regularisation service in the telephone numbers 91 908 70 67 and 901 20 30 40. This new functionality will not affect the Software Installation option.
