Trámites en Madrid

• Empadronamiento (address registration) in Madrid

  Ask the City Council of Madrid to add you to its padrón, the list of people who live in the city. It is for you if you arrive from abroad or from another town, or if you are not registered anywhere.

• Certificado de empadronamiento (registration certificate) in Madrid

  Ask for the certificado de empadronamiento: the document that proves what the padrón says about you. Choose the type your procedure asks for.

• Access to healthcare in Madrid

  Find out how you are entitled to public healthcare in Madrid. Then prepare the document that proves it, before you ask for the health card.

• Change of address in the padrón in Madrid

  Change your address in the padrón if you move home within Madrid. If you come from another town, this is not your procedure: you need to register as a new resident.
