The padron explained, for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
What is the padron?
The padron municipal is the register of everyone living in a Spanish municipality. Registering is called empadronamiento and the certificate, the certificado de empadronamiento, is the official proof of your address.
Who needs to register?
- · Everyone who actually lives in the municipality, including children
- · People who need proof of address for healthcare, a school place or residence steps
- · People changing address within Spain, who register again in the new municipality
The official process in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
- · The registration form of your own town hall is completed for every person in the household
- · Proof of address and identification are collected for each person
- · An appointment is requested at the town hall, or the registration is filed online where the municipality allows it
- · The town hall records the registration and issues the certificate
Documents usually required
