The padron reflects the details for your property so if your property is owned by a husband and wife then both their names will be on the padron. However if you have children or any one else that will reside with you in the property, they too will need to register at the Ayuntamiento to obtain a padron.
The padron informs the local Spanish Government in your area that you are a property owner, and that you are residing in Spain. You will then be added to the official database where they can monitor their annual spending for the area of Algorfa.
The Spanish Government are taking large steps to ensure that anyone processing their residency or buying a Spanish car have to have a padron so it is important to get this little bit of paperwork processed as soon as possible. Without this paperwork it would be illegal to process your residency or purchase a Spanish car.
Many expats have visited the wrong Town Hall in the past so this quick check ensures you are applying at the correct one. This will save you a lot of time and frustration.
To process your padron you will need your passport, NIE number, a utility bill (water, electric, telephone) and a copy of your title deeds for your property. If you are renting the property then you will also need to have a long term lease contract and you need to bring a copy of this, please remember that the previous owner of the property will need to firstly sign off the padron before another family can sign on.
Algorfa Town Hall opens at 8:00am and closes at 14.00pm although I would suggest you get there early. Once you are there you will be attended to by Jose whom may I say is most helpful and speaks perfect English.
You will be registered at the Ayuntamiento until you sign off to change address. The padron certificate that is issued at the Ayuntamiento is only valid for 3-months and is for specific use only. If you need to provide it again after this period then you will need to take the old one back to the Town Hall with your passport and request a new certificate.
