Questions of a general nature

• What is METAPOSTA?

  METAPOSTA is a secure deposit box service on the internet you can use to receive and safeguard your documents.
  
  METAPOSTA is designed for both individuals and organisations; in addition to receiving and keeping their documents, organisations can also send documents securely such as contracts, diplomas, invoices, payslips... and also sign contracts.
  
  The system is fundamentally based on secure, perennial storage of those documents which individuals and companies value highly and therefore wish to keep in a personal electronic storage facility. When those documents are also electronically signed, METAPOSTA takes responsibility for their custody to ensure they retain their legal status.
  
  In addition to receiving documents, you can also use this deposit box to upload documents from your computer or mobile using an app.

• I would like to register with METAPOSTA. What must I do?

  You can register with METAPOSTA in several different ways:

  (1) You can register with a secure electronic signature certificate​:

  Directly on the METAPOSTA website with the following secure electronic signature certificates:

  • Electronic ID
  • IZENPE cards.
  • CAMERFIRMA cards.
  • Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre (CERES) cards.
  • Osakidetza and University of the Basque Country cards.
  • Autoridad de Certificación de la Abogacía (ACA) cards.

  Note:  you should have installed the "Idazki Desktop" Izenpe's tool 

  (2) You can register in person at any KZGuneak office:

  Physical persons may visit a KZGunea centre and identify themselves in the presence of an employee with their ID. By registering their details via the METAPOSTA website or signing a contract, applicants will be given 2 passwords (one sent by postal service in hardcopy and another by means of a text message). These are required in order to register the new user.

  (3) On-line Banking registrations via websites: 

  In these cases, the client of the Sender ( Bankoa, Laboral Kutxa or Kutxabank)  must have access to a secure website owned by the Sender. Access to this will require the irrefutable authentication of the person (via access passwords, digital signature, etc.). Later, the data cession authorisation, granted by the client, will be accepted in accordance with the procedure and protocol agreed to with METAPOSTA.

   

• I am a company and want to register in METAPOSTA. What must I do?
