Johnzx. Thank you for that. Ha ha. Estepona department  last week told me that they had not received notification either. Must check their notice board. "España va bien" as Aznar used to say.

It is best to check with each individual department of foreigners at  the national police stations. Incredible as it may seem, (or not) many departments have not received notification of this change.

 Are you acquainted with the facts associated with registering on the census?

There is a drive to encourage the European community­ to register on the census (padron) Residents and those who habitually live in Spain should enlist to augment your town hall reserves and reap the benefits available.  Holiday home owners and those who still are domiciled in their country of origin should check the accuracy of information given and be aware of the implications if advised to enroll. These may well alter your residence and tax status. Take note that you cannot be registered in two countries at the same time. The advice being given by many relevant authorities are conflicting and the local town hall often has in the past adhered to different rules and changed the regulation which has caused a lot of confusion.  The driving of non Spanish registered vehicles is not an option as once registered you are verifying your resident status.  Stating that the census database is private is not sufficient when you need to use this document for taking advantage of the many offers. Please seek advice and consider your exact status both here and in your home country before undertaking this important decision.

 Hello Hugh-man. You are in luck. Due to the upcoming municipal elections 2011 the town halls are tripping over themselves to get everyone on the padron. As they are changing the rules to suit , may I suggest you take advantage of this and get yourself on the census. You may be asked if you are intending to live here for over six months. The answer is yes. Change your status later if you wish. I will post some details here.

 Hello Kelju. I reiterate. If you are a client of a particular lawyer you obviously have private access to that firm. This is a forum. I firmly believe that as an originator of a post does does not give you the right to determine how it should proceed. You will not be obstructed from receiving information from your lawyer. Unbeknown to you, you have actually assisted others in the same situation. Minds have to be stimulated and all questions asked. Correct and honest information is much needed here in Spain.  I wish you the best of luck with your matter and hope you are not offended by others having varying views.I will respect your wishes and not respond to your posts on this matter. Saying this I have seen to much over many years. Please do not either ask or expect me to not comment on this thread in my own way.
