Hoja padronal — registration in the Padrón Municipal de Habitantes of La Orotava

“Padrón Municipal de Habitantes: Hoja padronal — Hoja de inscripción padronal/modificación de datos” is the official sheet of the Villa de La Orotava town council in Tenerife. It is used to register your residence (empadronamiento), report a move within the municipality or correct personal details. It is in Spanish, two landscape A4 pages: the first is filled in, the second holds the legal notes, instructions, the list of documents and education codes.

One sheet takes up to four people living at the same address. The council accepts it together with its application “Inscripción/Modificación/Renovación en el Padrón Municipal de Habitantes”. FoxDocs only types your data into the boxes of the official PDF and does not change its layout.

• everyone living in the municipality of La Orotava, foreigners included: when moving from another town or country, changing address within the municipality, after a birth, if never registered before (omisión) or when personal details change;
• to La Orotava town council together with the council’s application and documents; check the way of submitting and appointments with the council;
• every adult on the sheet signs it;
• according to the form, non-EU foreigners without permanent residence authorisation renew the registration every two years, otherwise it may lapse;
• according to the form, the council decides within three months of the application; the form names no fee — check with the council.

• home address: street type and name, number, letter, kilometre, block, entrance, staircase, floor, door;
• for each resident: given name, two surnames, sex, date, province and town or country of birth, nationality, document type and number (DNI, passport, NIE), education code;
• reason: move from another town or country, omisión, birth, change of address in the municipality, change of details — and where you come from;
• voluntary authorisation for adults on the sheet to report changes and obtain certificates, contact phone;
• “Autorización de persona empadronada” — if someone is already registered at the home, the number of people on the sheet and the line “En …, a … de … de …”.

• the completed and signed sheet;
• a valid ID: Spaniards — DNI (compulsory from age 14); citizens of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland — registration certificate with NIE together with their passport or national ID; others — TIE card with NIE or, failing that, passport;
• children under 14 without an ID — libro de familia or birth certificate; registering with only one parent — the court custody ruling or the other parent’s consent;
• a housing document: title of ownership (deed, purchase contract, land registry note) or a current rental contract with the last rent receipt;
• if a person already registered there authorises you — their housing document and a copy of their ID.

2. The assistant fills the boxes in capitals, ticks the reason and document type, picks the education code and the date.
3. Download the PDF, check it, have every adult sign it and take it to the council with the application.
