Companies required to interact electronically with the Public Administration will notice this change in their operational costs. The Under-Secretariat has approved through Resolution of March 25, 2026 (published in the BOE with reference BOE-A-2026-10964) the new rates that the National Mint and Stamp Factory-Royal Mint (FNMT-RCM) will charge for technical and security services linked to managing the event record in Electronic Notification Services and Enabled Electronic Address.
This is not a minor change: Electronic Notification Services and DEH are the backbone of official communications between citizens, companies and the Administration. Any adjustment in their rates is passed directly to the budgets of those who use them.
What does this regulation establish?
The Resolution approves the rates that FNMT-RCM will apply for the provision of technical and security services in two specific areas:
- Management of the event record produced during the provision of Electronic Notification Services.
- Management of the event record produced during the provision of the Enabled Electronic Address Service (DEH).
These services allow secure accreditation and recording of each relevant event that occurs in the electronic notification process: sending, making available, access, rejection or expiration of notifications. They are essential to guarantee the legal validity of communications between the Administration and those required to interact with it electronically.
The rate update is the responsibility of the Under-Secretariat and is part of the financing model of FNMT-RCM as a public business entity that provides digital infrastructure services to the State and third parties.
The regulation does not specify the exact amounts of each rate in its publication. To consult the exact details of each rate concept, it is necessary to access the full text in the BOE.
Economic and operational impact
The impact of this rate update occurs at three levels:
- Direct operating costs: Entities that contract directly with FNMT for electronic notification services will see the cost of these services modified. They must review their current contracts and update their budget forecasts.
- Technology value chain: Technology providers that build electronic notification solutions on FNMT infrastructure will absorb or pass on this cost change. This can result in price reviews in software contracts or document management platforms that include DEH integration.
- Budget planning: Public bodies and private companies required to interact electronically with the Administration must incorporate this adjustment in their operating budgets for the current fiscal year.
Since the regulation does not detail the exact amounts of each rate in the available summary, precise quantification of the impact requires consulting the full text of the Resolution and comparing it with the current contracts and usage volumes of each entity.
Who does it affect?
This Resolution has direct impact on three groups of entities:
- Companies required to interact electronically with the Administration: Commercial companies, large enterprises and any legal entity subject to the obligation to use electronic means in their communications with public bodies.
- Public bodies: Administrations, agencies and public sector entities that use Electronic Notification Services or DEH in their communication processes with citizens and companies.
- Technology providers: Companies that develop or market electronic notification management solutions, electronic administration platforms or document management software integrated with FNMT-RCM infrastructure.
Practical example
A medium-sized company that manages its electronic notifications with the Administration through a third-party software platform receives a communication from its technology provider informing of a price review in the DEH integration service.
The reason: the provider has absorbed the increase in FNMT rates for a period, but with the new Resolution in force, it passes the adjustment to the client. The company must review its service contract, check if it includes price review clauses linked to changes in FNMT rates, and evaluate whether the new cost is within its operating budget or requires an additional allocation.
This same scenario applies to any public body that has outsourced the management of its electronic notifications to a technology provider: FNMT's rate update can trigger review clauses in technology service contracts already signed.
What should companies do now?
- Access the full text of the Resolution in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-10964) to know the exact amounts of each approved rate concept.
- Review current contracts with electronic notification or DEH service providers to identify price review clauses linked to changes in FNMT rates.
- Update budget forecasts for the current fiscal year by incorporating the new cost of these services, whether contracted directly with FNMT or accessed through a technology provider.
- Communicate the change to the departments involved: finance, technology and compliance must be aligned on the operational and economic impact of this update.
- Request from technology providers formal communication on how this rate change affects the contracted services and in what timeframe the price adjustment will be applied, if applicable.
