What Europeans in Guadalajara ask

You can live and work in Spain with your passport. After three months in Guadalajara, you register as a resident: these are the questions people ask about it.

Your question is not here? Put it to us.

I have a Romanian passport and a job in Cabanillas del Campo. What do I need?

A NIE for the employer and, since you live here for more than three months, the green certificate on form EX-18. Your work contract, or the employer’s Social Security paper, is your proof.

Certificado de registro UE Guadalajara: which office issues it?

On policia.es, the EU regime (régimen comunitario) appears under the Brigada on Avenida del Ejército 12. Book the EU certificate procedure for the province of Guadalajara; your confirmation names the office.

Do my children need a certificate too?

Yes. Each child who lives here is registered with a green certificate of their own, with proof of the family link, such as a birth certificate.

I am between jobs. Can I still register?

Work is only one basis. Savings with health insurance, studies or a family link to an EU citizen can be others. Send us your papers and we look at which one fits.

At what point is the 790-012 fee paid?

Ahead of the appointment, in cash at a bank or online. The stamped form or the online receipt then goes into your folder.

Does the padrón come before the green certificate?

Doing it first usually helps: police offices often want to see a padrón certificate, and it is the easiest way to prove your address. You register at your own town hall.
