How to find out which government agencies viewed your data via Mi Carpeta Ciudadana. The Spanish app Mi Carpeta Ciudadana lets you see which government agencies, from Hacienda to the police, have requested your personal data. The feature isn’t obvious, but it’s available to anyone who has completed identification.

You can check which government bodies have accessed your personal data in just a few minutes through the Mi Carpeta Ciudadana service. Created by the Spanish administration, the tool lets citizens see who requested their official information and when.

You can access the request history through the Mi Carpeta Ciudadana mobile app or official website. After logging in, verify your identity using one of the approved methods: Cl@ve, electronic DNI, Cl@ve PIN, or Cl@ve Permanente. The service won’t display the details until you complete this step.

The next steps aren’t obvious: in the app’s bottom menu, select the 'Mi Carpeta' section, then go to the 'Mis Datos' tab and choose 'Transparencia.' This section shows information exchanges between government agencies, including the police, Hacienda, DGT, and other bodies with authorized access.

Step-by-step instructions

In the 'Transparencia' section, open the 'Mis intercambios entre administraciones' subsection, then select 'Entre Organismos.' A list of organizations that requested your data will appear, along with the dates and types of information accessed.

A date filter lets you view recent requests or select a specific period. This is useful when tracking activity during a particular period without reviewing the entire archive.

What you need to prepare

Before you begin, make sure you have a valid identification method to log in to Mi Carpeta Ciudadana. Without one, the service won’t provide access to your request history.

The process takes a few minutes: log in to the app or website, switch to private mode, verify your identity, select the required sections, and view the list of requests. You can also filter the results by date.

Context and meaning

Seeing which government agencies have accessed your data is an impressive step toward transparency within the Spanish administration. It lets citizens monitor how their information is used and respond promptly to suspicious requests. Talent24h reports that the feature is stable and available to all registered users.
