The Municipal register is something more important than you think. To keep it up to date is everyone's duty, the more we are, the more we gain.

LET'S MAKE OUR TOWN GROW

WHAT IS THE PADRON?

It’s the administrative record of all residents of the town. Each It's person that lives in Spain is obliged to sign on to the padron in the town where they habitually live.
It is complying with a legal obligation and allows you to exercise and demand your rights. The larger the numbers on the padron, the greater the economic help the Town Hall receives to better provide local services.
With a lower number of people on the padron, there is a risk to the provision and quality of such services.

RENEW YOUR ENTRY

  • Residence Card or Passport and NIE (if you have it)
  • Deed of the home, or last IBI invoice, or current rental contract with the last paid receipt. Or authorization from the owner of the property (in this case, the authorization plus the aforementioned documentation)
