Hoja padronal — registration in the Padrón Municipal de Habitantes of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

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

One sheet holds up to four people living at the same address. FoxDocs writes your data into the boxes of the official PDF without changing its layout.

• anyone living in the municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, foreigners included: when moving from another town or country, changing address within the city, after a birth, if never registered before (omisión) or when personal data change;
• in person at the town hall OAIC offices (an appointment, cita previa, can be booked) or through the town hall electronic registry with a digital certificate, electronic DNI or Cl@ve;
• there is no fee; every adult on the sheet signs it;
• according to the form, the town hall decides within three months of filing;
• non-EU foreigners without permanent residence renew the registration every two years, otherwise it may be cancelled.

• home address: street type and name, number, letter, kilometre, block, entrance, staircase, floor, door and the cadastral reference (referencia catastral), which the town hall calls mandatory;
• e-mail and phones, preferred way of notification (electronic or by post) and a postal address for notices;
• for each resident: first name, two surnames, sex, date, province and place or country of birth, nationality, ID type and number (DNI, passport, NIE), education code;
• reason: move from another town or country, omisión, birth, change of address in the city, change of data — and where you came from;
• “Autorización de persona empadronada” if someone is already registered at the home, number of people on the sheet and the line “En …, a … de … de …”.

• the completed and signed sheet;
• a valid ID for each person: Spaniards — DNI (mandatory from 14); citizens of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland — registration certificate with the NIE plus passport or national ID; everyone else — TIE card with the NIE or, without it, a passport;
• children under 14 without an ID — libro de familia or birth certificate; for children registered with one parent the town hall asks for extra papers (its annexes I, II, VIII);
• proof of the home as listed by the town hall (Anexo IX): for example, the title deed or a current lease with the last rent receipt;
• if someone is already registered at the home — their housing document and ID.

1. Tell the chat in any language who is registering, at which address and why.
2. The assistant fills the boxes in capitals, ticks the reason and ID type, picks the education code and the date.
3. Download the PDF, check it, have every adult sign it and file it with the town hall.
