The Spanish residence certificate is very important for Chinese people living in Spain. It is an important document for handling many foreigners' procedures or applying for residence in the future. Therefore, it should be processed in time after arriving in Spain to save unnecessary trouble in the future.
What is the home certificate and what is its use?
Spanish residence certificate (empadronamiento) is a bit similar to household registration for Chinese people. It is a document that proves my time of residence in Spain. Regardless of whether you have a legal identity in Spain, you will be recognized as a local resident after registering with the municipal government. Therefore, to apply for a residence certificate, you must first register your residence. The residence can be your own, or rented or the residence of your relatives and friends. Home certificates are of very wide use. For Chinese people, they mainly include:
● Application for changing job residence or legalizing identity
● Application for Medical card
● Registration for children's admission
● Some procedures for other matters related to foreigners
● Can I apply for a home certificate if I do not have a legal identity in Spain?
Yes, even if you are illegally residing in Spain, you don’t need to have any doubts about applying for a home certificate. When registering for home, the municipal government will not care whether you have legal residence rights in Spain, but just do the "registration" of residence certificates.
On the contrary, for some people who want to temporarily not have a legal identity in Spain and hope to apply for rooting and legalize their identity after staying for three years, the residence certificate is particularly important. This will be the best proof of the applicant's residence time in Spain. In addition, a residence certificate is also a necessary document when obtaining some municipal services, such as social relief.
What documents are needed to register for home
0 Apply for a home certificate is very simple. Generally speaking, you need to provide:
● Copy and original copy of the residence card (or passport)
● If you rent a house, you need to provide a rental contract. If there is no rental contract, an original and a copy of the identity certificate of the person who has been registered in the residence is required.
After registering home in the municipal department office where you live, you can issue a residence certificate at any time, which is very simple and fast.
What to do if you move?
If you move directly to the district government of the new home to register a new home, the new district government will notify the old district government to cancel the previous home registration. It should also be noted that the residence certificate of foreigners who are temporarily residing is only valid for two years. After the expiration, they will receive a notice to update. If they still live on the original site, they need to register and update at the district government.
