Empadronamiento (address registration) in Valencia

Is it for you?

People who live in Valencia and are not yet in its padrón.

• Are you arriving from abroad or from another town? This is your procedure. If you only move home within Valencia, see «Cambio de domicilio en el padrón» (change of address).
• Is the home yours, do you rent a flat or a room, or do you live in someone else's home? The document you need to bring changes.
• Are you also registering children, or doing the procedure for someone else?

What to bring

Tick each document when you have it ready. Ticks are not saved.

• Your valid ID and the ID of each person registering with you
• The City Council registration form (hoja padronal or application), signed
  Which one works in your case

  In the PA.GP.11 procedure, choose the document list for your case: with or without children. If you go in person, bring the originals or copias compulsadas (copies with an official stamp). If your documents are not in Spanish or Valencian, check whether you need to translate them.

• A document that proves you live in that home (the steps explain which one works for you)
  Which one works in your case

  Bring a document that proves you live in that home. If the home is yours: the deeds or a note from the Property Registry. If you rent a flat or a room: the current contract and a receipt or bank transfer from one of the last two months; the receipt must show who pays, to whom, which month and the address. If you live in someone else's home: the City Council permission form and the ID of the person giving permission; also check which document about the home they ask for.

• If someone gives you permission or does the procedure for you: their signed permission
• If you register children: their documents and those of whoever has custody
  Which one works in your case

  Before you apply, read the section on children on the City Council page. What they ask for changes with the family relationship, each parent's consent and who has custody. Use the form for your real case.

Step by step

1. Decide the address and who is registering. It must be the home where you really live.
2. In the PA.GP.11 procedure, choose the document list for your case: with or without children. If you go in person, bring the originals or copias compulsadas (copies with an official stamp). If your documents are not in Spanish or Valencian, check whether you need to translate them.
3. Bring a document that proves you live in that home. If the home is yours: the deeds or a note from the Property Registry. If you rent a flat or a room: the current contract and a receipt or bank transfer from one of the last two months; the receipt must show who pays, to whom, which month and the address. If you live in someone else's home: the City Council permission form and the ID of the person giving permission; also check which document about the home they ask for.
4. Do it online in the PA.GP.11 procedure if you have an electronic signature. If not, go to a City Council padrón office during its opening hours.
5. Keep the receipt with the registration number. If they ask for more documents, reply using that number. Once you are registered, check that your details are correct.

Afterwards

• Keep the registration number. You can use it to reply if they ask for something, without starting a new application.
• Once you are registered, ask for the certificado de empadronamiento (registration certificate) if your next procedure needs it.
