Local Registration
Once your residence is sorted, a second round of paperwork begins: the registrations that make you a resident in practice, and that almost everything else in Spain depends on. Each one below is a separate service, so you can hand us only the ones you need. We tell you the order they have to go in, book the appointments and come with you.
-
Your NASS number. You need it before you can be locally hired, registered as self-employed, or use the public health system.
-
Registration with the Spanish tax authority so you have a valid tax identification number.
-
Spain's special tax regime for people who move here to work. If you qualify, for your first years you are taxed at a flat rate instead of Spain's progressive scale, which can mean a substantial saving depending on your income. We check whether you meet the requirements and file the application within the deadline that applies once you start working.
-
Registering your spouse and children under your cover, so the whole family can use the public health system.
-
Your padrón. It proves where you live, and you need it for almost everything else.
-
Registering at your local health centre and getting a doctor assigned. Required documents: local ID card (DNI/TIE), Social Security certificate and Town Hall registration.
-
For non-EU driving licenses, from countries with an exchange agreement with Spain.
-
For Spanish nationals: obtaining or renewing your national ID card. Relevant if you are returning to Spain after years abroad.
-
Registering birth and marriage certificates obtained abroad so they are recognised in Spain.
