Offices for reporting a change of address in Spain

Choose the city you moved to and see how its town hall takes address changes

Address changes are handled by the town hall of the place you moved to, and many offer more than one way: a visit, a phone booking or an online request with a digital certificate. Pick a city to see what each office handles, whether you need to book and which papers to bring, such as proof of your new home.

  • A Coruña

    Registro General Palacio Municipal María Pita

    Plaza de María Pita, 1, 15001 A Coruña

    Book the address-change appointment, as the certificate-only appointment does not update your registration.

    Bring original, valid identification and proof of your right to occupy the home. The council accepts ownership evidence, a current habitual-residence lease lasting more than six months with the latest rent receipt, or an eligible recent utility bill. For a new utility connection, the contract may be accepted. Where authorisation is needed, bring the housing holder’s original ID; if other people are already registered there, the authorising adult must be registered there and hold housing rights. For children, bring original family or birth records and any required custody decision and parental consent; ask the office about the applicable authorisation form.
