Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of registration?
It confirms your residence in the municipality. It's needed to renew your DNI if you change your address, enroll children in neighborhood schools, apply for benefits and subsidies, and for foreigners, renew their residence card.
Is registration mandatory?
Yes. The Local Government Act requires all residents (Spanish citizens and foreigners) to be registered with the municipal registry where they habitually reside.
Can a foreigner without papers register?
Yes. Registration is independent of administrative status. The city hall does not report this information to immigration authorities.
How long does registration take to be effective?
Registration becomes effective immediately. You can get an immediate registration certificate for free.
What is the difference between a certificate and a registration certificate?
The certificate is the standard, free document you receive on the spot. The formal certificate has greater legal validity (notaries, courts) and is also free.
