The padrón is one of the main steps that must be taken once you make your relocation in Madrid, but what is the padron? Why should I get it? what is it for? These are questions that expats always ask us and if you want answers we have them here.
The padrón is nothing more than the registration of a person (be it a foreigner or a national) in the town hall of the town where he lives, and for this the expatriate will need to prove his address in that place either with a lease or with the documents of ownership of the property where he/she lives.
With this the city council collects the necessary data to know how many people live in the area and therefore take the appropriate measures to manage public services (such as health, education, transport …) more efficiently.
Why should I get my Padron
Now, it must be done because it is mandatory by national regulations, but more important than the Law (which is important) is that with the registry we will have many benefits as residents of the area and for foreigners it will help to indicate the stay in the country tha t will be required for much others.
Access to public health center
Let’s start with health, with the municipal registry we can register at our closest health center where we will be assigned the doctor and head nurse, in the case of children and pregnant women, their pediatrician and midwife will be assigned respectively. It should be noted that Spanish public health is considered very good and therefore being covered by it is an excellent benefit.
Access to public education
And we continue with education, to be able to study in a public or concerted school , one of the essential requirements is to be registered in the neighborhood where you want to apply since the offer of educational institutions It will be based on this, as well as the places will prioritize the residents of the schools
Padron is require for foreigner
If you are a foreigner in Spain, you will have for registering, this document is also required for the issuance of your resident card, its modifications and renewals and for the application for nationality since with it you show in the office of foreigners your address and the time it has been in Spain since the first registration.
Last but not least, with your registration you can include your vehicle with you and therefore enjoy a very cheap annual fee that allows you to park in the surroundings of your home without having to pay additionally and in the case of Madrid Central you can invite up to 22 people with cars per month.
