I have been informed that due to Brexit , us British Expats who are Residents in Spain have to renew our Padron every two years now. I believe a new B.O.J.A has just been issued on this subject. Can anyone provide further information on this subject and the BOJA link if possible
Many Thanks
David

It's always been 2 years for non EU citizens.

It's not a BOJA that created the issue for British Citizens, it was BoJo

Hi

The BOE issued this week contains a lot of information for specific cases but your local Town Hall should be able to help if in doubt.
If you are required to present the actual Padrón document, the certificate itself must be dated within 3 months so you may need to get an updated one and now, most importantly, as non EU citizens, we are obliged to renew our registration on the Padrón every 2 years and not every 5 years as before.
unquoe
Please can someone confirm that is in fact the case for all who are Permanent Residents in Spain
Thank You
David

The 2 year rule only applies to NON EU permanent residents as stated earlier.

Re: Padron Renewal for non-EU citizens now every 2 years
Hi Sid
So I have an EU Passport ( British Passport on Renewal date) and I am a Permanent Resident living in Spain, my Padron only needs to be renewed every 5 years. My friend says that the new BOJA/BOE says otherwise. Please can you clarify this aspect. I am very confused now
Thanks

Re: Padron Renewal for non-EU citizens now every 2 years
Do you have an EU passport? As far as I'm aware, it doesn't exist, despite what was being said during the debate. Do we not have a British one that said we were EU members? As we are now not members, that is what is important when it comes to the new rules.

Re: Padron Renewal for non-EU citizens now every 2 years
For the third time, you have to renew it every 2 years. You are not an EU citizen any more whatever it says on the front of your passport.

Re: Padron Renewal for non-EU citizens now every 2 years
Agree about the every 2 years renewal but should the town hall remind me is is it up to me to remember to renew it?
I've been on the Padron at Velez Malaga for 16 years now.
In that time they have only once sent me a notification to renew my Padron.
Cheers

Re: Padron Renewal for non-EU citizens now every 2 years
I've had 2 notifications from the Ayuntamiento asking me to renew my details on the padrón in the 14 years we've lived in Vélez, Gerry, (both delivered by hand by an employee who comes round on a moto, needing to be signed for).gerryh wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 10:26 am Agree about the every 2 years renewal but should the town hall remind me is is it up to me to remember to renew it?

We last renewed ours when we moved house in 2017. Would any UK citizen who has not updated their details since the end of 2018 (2 years before the end of the transition period) now need to do that? I can't imagine the Ayuntamientos would welcome a rush of people wanting to do that with all the restrictions currently in place due to the pandemic.
In recent weeks I've seen a few Facebook posts from people claiming they have been told by employees in Extranjeria offices that the rules are about to be changed to say that padrón registrations will remain valid for the duration of a TIE, but have no idea whether that is just FB rumours or not. I will wait until I get another letter from the Ayuntamiento asking me to update my details, I think.

Re: Padron Renewal for non-EU citizens now every 2 years
As far as I remember, when I looked at the applicable law, there is no requirement for EU citizens to renew at all. This can be overwritten by central government under certain circumstances, such as the records getting too far out of date. Saying that some towns take it upon themselves to make up their own rules, Nerja is one example, where they insist on renewals. My padron with Almuñecar has not been renewed in 17 years until today. That was because they felt that it was time to ask for renewals for all foreigners (EU or not). I renewed it this morning.
As for sending you a reminder, I guess that's down to the town hall, some will, some won't. If you need to produce proof of being on the padron, then they usually insist on a new certificate which is valid for 90 days.
It's a very easy process. You just present your certificate of registration/TIE and your passport. No charge and no forms to fill in!
