Hoja padronal — Madrid Municipal Register of Inhabitants (Padrón) Registration Form

“Hoja padronal — Padrón Municipal de Habitantes” is the official form of Madrid City Council (Ayuntamiento de Madrid) to register in the municipal register of inhabitants (empadronamiento) or to change address within the city. The form is in Spanish and has two A4 landscape pages: the first is filled in, the second contains instructions, education level codes, the legal basis and the list of documents.

One sheet covers up to three people living at the same address. FoxDocs only types your values into the fields of the official PDF and does not change its layout.

• anyone living in Madrid, foreigners included — on first registration, moving from another municipality or country, changing address within Madrid, a birth, or if previously not registered (omisión);
• it is filed at the Oficinas de Atención a la Ciudadanía Línea Madrid with an appointment (cita previa): phone 010 or 914 800 010, or madrid.es/citaprevia;
