Where to start

Palma padrón procedure and current instructions

Timing

Palma has different evidence rules for owners, tenants, and people not named on the home paperwork. Use the instruction sheet for the exact option that applies to you.

Common mistake

Població.01 is a separate travel-residence certificate procedure.

Check the source before you act

Use this page to prepare the file for palma padrón, then confirm current forms, appointment categories, fees, and account instructions on the official source listed here.

  • Save receipts, confirmations, registry numbers, and downloaded PDFs.
  • Use Ask Guiri when the next step depends on your own document, address, status, deadline, or portal error.

Choose the route that fits your case

Palma's electronic route is limited to an adult property holder, or someone authorised by that holder, using a digital certificate or DNIe. Other cases use the in-person OAC route.

  • A representative cannot use the electronic route.
  • Use the current OAC appointment route for in-person cases.
  • People over 65 can use OAC Son Moix without an appointment.

Match the housing evidence to your situation

Palma has different evidence rules for owners, tenants, and people not named on the home paperwork. Use the instruction sheet for the exact option that applies to you.

  • Owners can use a deed, registry note, IBI receipt, or qualifying recent utility evidence.
  • Tenants can use a lease with the required payment evidence, or a qualifying utility document where the city allows it.
  • If you are neither owner nor tenant, include signed authorisation, the authorising person's ID, and proof of their right to occupy the home.

Use the right proof document afterward

Palma treats the registration as effective when it sends its electronic confirmation. It lists separate procedures for travel-residence certificates and for personal padrón certificates, so use the named route the receiving service asks for.

  • Població.01 is a separate travel-residence certificate procedure.
  • Població.08 is a separate personal padrón certificate procedure.
  • Do not assume every receiving service accepts the same proof document.
