Registration at the City Hall

Padró/Empadronament is a  city hall registration to inform the municipal registry that you currently reside in its municipality. It is a census record, which allows the city to generate a list of local inhabitants. It is mandatory to register for anyone who plans to live in Spain more than six months in a year.

To get an on-site appointment for the “Alta padró” in the city of Barcelona, you can call the 010 or take it online here.

In another municipality, go to its website and search for “alta padró”.

You are always welcome to contact the International Welcome Centre at mobilitat.pdi@upc.edu if you have any questions on these issues.
