Quick summary
To get the vida laboral without a digital certificate or Cl@ve, the main route is the SMS code on Import@ss: it requires a mobile registered with Social Security. If it isn't registered, you'll need to get Cl@ve or a certificate once, or register the phone. GovEasy automates the SMS route and, if it doesn't apply, takes you to the Cl@ve alternative.

The myth of the mandatory certificate
You don't need a digital certificate or Cl@ve to download the vida laboral if your mobile is registered with Social Security. The SMS route is designed exactly for that.
Option 1: by SMS (the easiest)
Enter ID/NIE, date of birth and mobile, receive a code by SMS and download the PDF. Requirement: the phone must be on record with Social Security.
Option 2: Cl@ve or certificate
If the mobile isn't registered, the alternative is Cl@ve or a digital certificate. Signing up for Cl@ve once opens up almost the entire administration.
Option 3: let GovEasy do it
GovEasy tries the SMS channel first. If it works, it delivers the report without you touching the official site. If not, it takes you straight to the Cl@ve option — no dead ends.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get the vida laboral with just my ID?
With ID/NIE plus date of birth and a mobile registered with Social Security, yes: the system sends a code by SMS and you download the report. The registered mobile is the key; without it you'll need Cl@ve or a certificate.
What if I have neither Cl@ve nor a registered mobile?
You'll need to register your phone or sign up for Cl@ve at least once. After that, you can use the SMS route easily next time.
Can GovEasy get it without me having Cl@ve?
Yes, if your mobile is registered with Social Security. GovEasy uses the SMS channel; if it isn't available for your case, it shows you the Cl@ve route on the official site.
