What it is
The Registro de la Industria de Defensa (RID) is kept by the Dirección General de Estrategia e Innovación de la Industria de Defensa (DIGEID). Registration, and its renewal, are requested online through the Ministry's e-office (procedure SIA 993054) with the company's electronic certificate. The old register page of the DGAM no longer exists; the register now appears only as an e-office procedure.
UNVERIFIED: the legal basis of the register, its fee, its processing time and how long a certificate is valid were not found in a primary source, so none is shown.
