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 now check which government bodies have accessed your personal data in just a few minutes — simply use the Mi Carpeta Ciudadana service. This tool, created by the Spanish administration, allows citizens to find out who has requested their official information and when.

Access to the request history is available through the Mi Carpeta Ciudadana mobile app or official website. After logging in, you will need to verify your identity using one of the approved methods: Cl@ve, electronic DNI, Cl@ve PIN, or Cl@ve Permanente. Without this step, the service will not display the required details.

The next steps are not obvious: in the bottom menu of the app, select the 'Mi Carpeta' section, then go to the 'Mis Datos' tab and find the 'Transparencia' option. This is where all exchanges of information between government agencies are shown, 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 all organizations that have requested your data will appear on the screen, along with the dates and types of information accessed.

For convenience, a date filter is available: you can view only recent requests or select a specific period of interest. This is especially useful if you want to track specific activity over a certain time without looking through 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 this, the service will not provide access to your request history.

The entire 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. If needed, you can immediately filter the results by date.

Context and meaning

The ability to see which government agencies have accessed your data is an important step toward transparency within the Spanish administration. This enables citizens to monitor how their information is used and respond promptly to suspicious requests. According to Talent24h, the feature is stable and available to all registered users.
