Empadronamiento Murcia: putting your address on the padrón

• Servicio de Estadística y Notificaciones, Calle Puerta Nueva 10B: by appointment only, Monday to Friday 9:00–14:30
• Oficina de Información y Registro, Plaza de Europa 1, ground floor: Monday to Thursday 8:30–17:00, Friday 8:30–14:00
• The information office of the town hall, on the Glorieta de España
• The information and registration offices of the pedanías and districts

The Servicio de Estadística sees people by cita previa, booked on murcia.es or by phone on 010, or 968 22 95 49 from outside the municipality. It offers two kinds of appointment: one for registering, leaving or changing address, and one for certificates, foreigners’ renewals and enquiries. Choose the wrong kind and you will not be served.

Since 23 September 2024, registrations and changes of address can also be filed at any information and registration office, such as Plaza de Europa; the data is entered the following day. Those offices have their own preferential cita previa.

• The registration form, completed and signed by everyone who registers
• Identity: EU citizens a passport or national ID card; foreigners with a residence permit their NIE; others a passport
• Owners: the deed, the last IBI receipt or a recent water, gas, electricity or landline bill in their name
• Tenants: the rental contract in force and a copy of the landlord’s identity document, or a recent utility bill in the tenant’s name
• Neither owner nor tenant: the form signed by someone already registered there, or by the owner, plus a copy of that person’s ID and a deed, contract or bill in their name

EU citizens, and non-EU citizens with a permanent or EU family card, confirm their registration every two years, or every five if they appear in the Registro Central de Extranjeros. Non-EU residents without permanent residence renew every two years, or the registration can lapse. The town hall sends a notice three months ahead.
