MOD.T20 — application for registration or change of address in the Torrevieja Padrón Municipal de Habitantes

“MOD.T20 — Solicitud de alta o cambio de domicilio” is the municipal register sheet (Hoja Padrón Municipal de Habitantes) of Torrevieja town hall. It is used to join the padrón when you move to the town and to report a new address.

The form is in Spanish, three A4 pages: page 1 holds the address and up to four people, page 2 the consent of the owner or registered resident, the residence declaration, the parents’ consent and the consents, page 3 the instructions, education codes and the list of documents.

• everyone living in Torrevieja, foreigners included: when moving from another town or country, moving within Torrevieja, for a newborn, or if the person was never registered (omisión);
• since 6 March 2025 new registrations and changes of address need a prior appointment (cita previa) booked through the town hall e-office; renewals and confirmations by letter, newborns and justified urgent cases are seen without one;
• the e-office also offers online “alta” and “cambio de domicilio” procedures — they require an electronic signature;
• every adult on the sheet signs it by hand; for minors, both parents sign;
• non-EU foreigners without permanent residence renew the registration every two years; the town hall website does not state a fee — ask the Negociado de Censo y Estadística.
