Electronic notifications are official communications from the Administration addressed to citizens, companies and entities, with all legal guarantees.
After carrying out a management or a procedure, the Administration can communicate with you through an electronic notification. You can also receive a notification related to a procedure initiated ex officio by the Administration itself (such as a penalty).
You can receive the electronic notification notice by email or SMS. However, the notification mailbox can be accessed from the issuing Administration's electronic headquarters or website.
Here are the steps to access an electronic notification:
1. Receipt of notice of notification
When the Administration notifies you, you will receive an email or SMS:
The email, among other information, will inform you of the access mechanism with which you can access the notification:

3. Press access "with digital identity" or "with one-time use code"
Press access "with digital identity" or " one-time code " (*) according to the access mechanism of your notification:

4. Identify yourself
