Use the city procedure that matches your case

- Check the city page for current appointment availability and filing options.
- The city lists this procedure as available throughout the year.
Match your housing evidence to how you live there
The city uses different evidence for owners, tenants, shared homes, collective accommodation, and people without a fixed address. Do not use a generic checklist in place of the city's annex.
- Owners should follow the city’s property, registry, and current-utility evidence route.
- Tenants should use a current residential lease and the latest rent receipt.
- If you are joining someone else's address, use the city authorisation route; people without a fixed address need the relevant social-work or accommodation report.
Complete identity and household details carefully
Santa Cruz requires the valid identity-document combination for your nationality and status, signatures from adults being registered, and a cadastral reference. Children and represented applicants have separate evidence rules.
- Make sure every adult listed signs the padrón form.
- Use the identity-document combination the city specifies for your nationality and status.
- For children, custody situations, or legal representation, follow the city’s dedicated annexes.
