In simple terms, the nearest equivalent to a Padron is the Electoral Register in the UK – a list of residents in a town or area. The complete name in Spanish is Certificado de Empadronamiento, but most people just call it a Padron certificate. Registering on the Padron means you’re officially living in that town, and this is called being “Empadronado”.

Information specific to getting a Padron in Guardamar del Segura
We have been on a discovery trip to the Town Hall and found that if you are renting your property, you will need to take a signed Authorisation from the owner which you can download HERE. You will also need to take a utility bill or council tax bill (IBI) in the name of the property owner. They also mentioned that although you don’t need an NIE number to register, it’s a good idea to update your details once you have one. Property owners will need to take the documents mentioned in the Padron article above.
