Why it carries so much weight
Without the certificado de empadronamiento you cannot register with a family doctor, place children in a Bilbao school, or complete several immigration steps. We secure the town-hall appointment and prepare the file so it is accepted at once.
In Bilbao
The Bilbao office sets the pace for the empadronamiento across the Basque Country. Our team books your appointment, checks your documentación, and walks you through the day itself.
Frequently asked questions
Often yes. The Ayuntamiento de Bilbao accepts alternatives such as an owner's authorisation in some cases. We confirm what your address requires before the appointment.
You can register as soon as you occupy the address and hold the supporting proof. We advise doing it early, since later steps depend on it.
