Register on the Santiago de Compostela padrón (alta)
Register your address with the Concello (empadroamento) in person at the Padrón office; the Concello’s Padrón page lists adult registrations and address changes as in person only.
- Why it matters
- The padrón is the town hall’s register of residents, and other procedures (for example the bus card for residents or the municipal nursery) ask for being registered here.
- When
- You start living at an address in Santiago de Compostela or move within the city.
