Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of registration?
It verifies your residence in the municipality. It is required for renewing your DNI if you change your address, enrolling children in neighborhood schools, applying for benefits and subsidies, and for foreigners, renewing their residency card.
Is it mandatory to register?
Yes. The Local Government Act requires all residents (Spaniards and foreigners) to be registered on the municipal registry where they habitually reside.
Can a foreigner without documents register?
Yes. Registration is independent of administrative status. The city hall does not inform immigration authorities.
How long does it take for registration to become effective?
Registration on the municipal registry becomes effective immediately. You can receive a free registration certificate on the spot.
What is the difference between a voucher and a registration certificate?
The voucher is the standard, free document obtained on the spot. The certificate has greater legal validity (notaries, courts) and is also free.
