Renew or confirm your padrón registration as a foreigner
Non-EU foreigners without permanent residence must renew their padrón registration every two years; others must confirm residence every 2 or 5 years.
- Why it matters
- If you do not renew within two years, the Ayuntamiento may declare your registration expired without a hearing, per its padrón page.
- When
- Two years after your last registration (non-EU, no permanent residence).
