Logging into the private virtual space (SPV) using your cloud electronic signature is a simple process, but it requires you to follow some clear steps.
This guide will help you go through the entire procedure, from purchasing the digital certificate to using the SPV platform. Furthermore, you will discover the advantages of using the electronic cloud signature for your digital activities.
1. First step: Buy the cloud digital certificate
The first step to authenticate to the SPV with your cloud digital signature is purchasing a qualified digital certificate. It can be purchased easily and quickly on the AlfaSign website. By opting for the cloud electronic signature, you receive:
- The signature issued quickly, on the same day.
- Compatibility with the SPV, NAFA, and e-Invoice.
- Flexibility, without requiring a physical device such as a token.
The cloud digital certificate is an ideal solution for businesses who want to optimise their digital processes while complying with the new legal regulations in accounting.
If you need a long-term solution, AlfaSign also offers 3-year certificates, as well as the possibility for you to renew your signature.
2. AlfaCloud – the application you need for the cloud signature
After purchasing the digital signature certificate, the next step is to download and install the AlfaCloud application, which you will use for authentication to the SPV, to sign invoices, and to report various documents to NAFA.
Go to AlfaSign and download the AlfaCloud application by clicking on the indicated link. After downloading it, the file will be available in the Downloads folder of your device or in the lower bar of your browser.

3. Setting up your SPV account
If you don’t have a SPV account yet, you will need to register:
- Access the registration form for legal entities. This is required in order to validate your identity and authorise access to the platform.
- Fill in the form with the identification data of the legal entity and of the legal representative.
- Download and sign the document confirming your SPV account.
- Use the cloud electronic signature to sign it.
- Upload the signed document on the AlfaSign website, in the NAFA confirmation page.
- Download the version confirmed by AlfaSign, which you will use to fill in the NAFA form.
- Upload the confirmation document in the SPV registration form.
After going through all the steps, send the validation request to NAFA.
4. Logging to your SPV account
After NAFA confirms your account through an approval e-mail, you can log in to your virtual private space by using the cloud electronic signature. The process is simple:
- Access the SPV platform.
- Select the digital certificate authentication option.
- Enter your data and follow the steps for the validation.
5. Use the cloud digital certificate in the SPV
After obtaining access to your SPV account, you can use the platform to send tax returns, invoices through the RO e-Invoice system and other official documents. The cloud electronic signature facilitates this process and ensures compliance with the legal requirements.
Once installed, the AlfaCloud application offers safe and quick access to all the necessary features so that you can manage your digital activities in the SPV platform. One of the advantages of the cloud digital signature is accessibility. You no longer need a physical token or installing other additional devices.
The application, together with an internet connection, allows you to sign documents wherever you are. The process is efficient – SPV enrolment and authentication is quick, and saves valuable time.
