Registering on the Padrón - (empadronamiento)

Why?

When you move to a new area in Spain you must register on the Padrón at the town hall. This is similar to the electoral role.

The town council receives an amount of government funding for each person registered on the Padrón. This means they have more money to spend on facilities and services for residents.

Where?

Registration for the Padrón takes place at the town hall (el ayuntamiento). You don’t usually need an appointment, although be prepared to wait if there is a queue.

How?

All your family should be registered if they are resident in Spain, this includes children under 18.

You will need the following documents and will be asked to complete a registration form:

•   Passport (it’s a good idea to take copies with you)
•   Proof you live here (your escritura – deeds, or your tenancy agreement)

What?

Once you are registered on the Padrón you will be able to:

•   Vote in the local elections (make sure the town hall has your post office box address if you have one, to ensure you receive your voting card),
•   Register your children at school
•   Register with your local doctor
•   Buy a car
