Register on the Palma padrón (empadronamiento)
Register your address with the Ajuntament de Palma: in person at an OAC with a cita previa (hoja padronal, ID, proof of home occupation), or online if you are the adult home-holder (or authorized by them) with a digital certificate or electronic DNI.
- Why it matters
- The padrón is the municipal residents' register and is the base for many procedures, for example the health card and the Tarjeta Única.
- When
- You start living at an address in Palma or move within the city.
