I brightly thought that I would just check that my phone number held by the Health system is indeed accurate.

I have been to the website and followed the instructions for those Not holding a digital certificate, to call up the requisite form to complete. There is a note on the site which basically says ‘what to do if the form does not appear and the page is blank or a warning message’. Naturally, the page is blank! I have laboriously followed the instructions which required the downloading of three separate certificates, apparently to enable the ‘blank’ page to function. The result? Nothing, Nada. Have been going round in circles for the past hour or so and I’m now bored ad can’t be bothered. I’m using an iPad Air, updated regularly. Am I being very stupid and missing something, any ideas anyone? Please?!

Find a Gestor to do this for you with a digital certificate

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I have subsequently discovered, by more trial and error, that the system appears not to play nice with iOS devices. Solved very easily by dragging out and hooking up an old laptop running W7,which, curiously, worked immediately without a hitch!

All you need to do is go into your health centre and they will update it for you

As I said above, problem fixed, thank you. And where we are, in the depths of the campo, our local clinic is now semipermanently closed, and unfettered access to the nearest large clinic not permitted either. Our medical service relies on a peripatetic doctor who serves 3 local villages, and who has to therefore run 3 clinics, for a couple of hours each. No receptionist. Not open daily.

Therefore online easier option!!!

I did mine online, the first option is with a digital certificate, but scroll down and all you need is sip card number and Date of birth

Hope this helps

Thank you Carol, but as I said in my first couple of posts, my original inability to complete the process was because the relevant form would not return on iOS device. I  discovered  this was the problem after some further trial and error and completed it using an ancient laptop running W7 with no further difficulties. Many thanks.

... W7 with no further difficulties. Many thanks.

It is a common problem Stephanie with SIP cards and the health care web apps. I don't know what their web designer did, but IOS doesn't work. Usually an online app commutes to any endpoint device and the web platform does it for free (WIX did for me without any special programming) ...glad you found your way through.

Hopefully your post will help others.

Best wishes,

D&J
