Procedures and services

The document verification service allows you to check the authenticity and validity of an electronic document issued by the UOC based on the secure verification code (CSV), which appears in the bottom margin of the document you wish to validate.

The secure verification code (CSV) consists of a set of digits that uniquely identifies any of the electronic documents issued by the university.

This code is printed on the first page of each document and makes it possible to check it against the original electronic document, which makes it a true copy.

The UOC manages all invoicing by means of electronic invoicing; therefore, invoices must be sent to us via our eFact platform for receiving and consulting electronic invoices.

You can access it from this link: eFact electronic invoices

An electronic invoice is an electronic document that contains the same type of information as a traditional invoice and is sent electronically. It is legally valid when it bears an advanced electronic signature based on a recognized digital certificate that guarantees the authenticity and integrity of the invoice.

The electronic invoice format used is the facturae format. This format is described by means of an XSD schema (XML Schema Definition) at www.facturae.es, and the electronic signature format conforms to the XML - Advanced Electronic Signatures (XAdES) specification, ETSI TS 101 903, or to the evolutions of this format according to the regulations issued for this purpose by Spain's General Administration, in accordance with the provisions of Order PRE/2971/2007, of 5 October 2007, on the issuing of invoices by electronic means when the recipient of the invoices is the General Administration or public bodies linked to or reporting to it, and on the presentation of invoices issued between private individuals to the General Administration or public bodies linked to or reporting to it.

To find out about invoice requirements and legal obligations for issuers, consult the obligations for issuing invoices at www.facturae.es.

• Error-free exchange of information between the university and suppliers (the original data reach the destination electronically without any type of manual input).
  
  
• Electronic invoices are logged by the university within a maximum of 24 hours from the time they are delivered, and processing time is reduced.
  
  
• As suppliers, you will have every guarantee regarding the receipt and logging of invoices and you will be able to speed up the start of the calculation of collection deadlines.
  
  
• Cost savings in the generation and issuing of invoices in electronic format compared to paper invoices.

The electronic voting platform (e-Vot) enables elections and consultations to be carried out electronically and incorporates all the universities' electoral models.

The platform offers:

• A portal providing access to open electoral processes, through which voters can cast their votes.
• A management tool allowing universities to set up an election (define the date and deadline of the election, create the electoral list and the election commission, publish results, produce statistics, etc.).

The platform also guarantees:

• Integration with any IT system to manage the electoral process.
• The anonymity of the voting process.
• Fast and accurate vote counts and audits.
• Better accessibility for blind voters and voters with disabilities compared to traditional voting.

The e-Vot platform provides security throughout the voting process (from the individual voter to the election commission) and thereby prevents the risk of internal attacks by system administrators. Votes are encrypted and digitally signed by voters on their voting devices (computers) before they are submitted. The private key for decrypting the votes is divided into fragments, which are distributed among the members of the election commission before the start of the election. At the end of the election, a predefined minimum number of election commission members must meet to reconstruct the private key and decrypt the votes.

This section provides access to a number of online services that allow for the validation of electronically signed documents. It is possible to validate documents with different formats and different types of signature, such as signed PDF documents or documents with a detached signature.

• Validator of the Catalan Certification Agency (CATCert)
• Validator of the Open Administration Consortium of Catalonia (Consorci AOC)

e-NOTUM is a service that allows you to send notifications of administrative actions (resolutions, decrees, notifications within the scope of a contracting procedure, notifications of sanctions, notices of meetings of collegiate bodies, etc.) and communications by electronic means, with all the legal guarantees established by current regulations.

e-Noticeboard is a service that allows the publication and management of electronic edicts online. It is a certified publication tool with automated systems associated with the management of the publication of edicts (control of display periods, generation of records, etc.). The electronic noticeboard makes it possible to manage the electronic evidence of the publication process in order to guarantee display times and the integrity of the information.
