Ayuntamiento Registration
I was under the impression that only permanent residents could register with the local Ayuntamiento but having spoken to a non-resident recently he suggested that non-residents could also register to enable the Ayuntamiento to gain from the head count.
That being the case, how do I ascertain (on-line ideally) whether we are registered or not which could have been done by our solicitor?

Do you mean registered on the padrón?
Non-residents can certainly register. Whether you can check online depends on whether your local Town Hall offers this facility. It is unlikely that your lawyer would have done it for you as a matter of course.
You can just go along to your Town Hall to check. In case you are not take your escritura, passport and NIE sheet and they will do it there and then. Take some copies as well just in case.

Cordoba province offers an online service http://www.dipucordoba.es/padron/
certainly to get an up to date certificate but I think you still have to make a personal visit to one of the issuing organisations to obtain one of the electronic certificates with signature you require to start the whole process!

Possibly the Padron. As I understand it, the Ayuntamiento benefits from the registration by an increase in funds allocated to it based on it's population? What I didn't realise, is that I can register as a non-resident but given the solicitor did manage to get the IBI/Basura/water direct debits sorted out I hoped he'd have done this also.
I can't find Colmenar on-line so probably something that will have to wait until Christmas unless I can wangle a week day off before then.

Ayuntamiento Registration
Faire
It's exactly as Beachcomber says.
We registered for the Padron about a year and a half ago, feeling guilty that we should have done it a year earlier.
Took the docs that Beach mentions, and a dictionary. The town hall receptionist did all of the biz. one or two strange questions, the strangest being what type of school did my wife and I go to....
Took about 20 mins, probably less if your Spanish is better than mine, and in a week, went back to collect officially stamped (several times) paperwork to show that we are now registered, and hopefully the village gets a few more Euros because of it!

Beachy - thanks. I'll give it a whirl and see if I can side step the system.
Silver - thanks. Unfortunately, I know where the Ayunatamiento is and having trawled that site many times I wish that type of information was available in the UK. Possibly a bit sad, but nonetheless some interesting stuff on there!

We went to do the business at our Ayunatamiento this morning. A rather sour looking guy appeared very disappointed when we had all the required documents and copies. He wanted a copy of the escritura which I was not expecting but had one in the file. He was only mildly helpful with a couple of questions we had about one of the forms and sent us off to a nearby table to complete them. Not too difficult.
When we returned he seemed disgruntled that we had entered our passport numbers whilst we had both got our NIEs. He demanded the 'tarjetas' to go with the NIEs and seemed confused and doubtful when we told him you don't get one with an NIE! Anyway, after a few minutes checking copies against originals he actually gave us a bit of a smile and said we would be registered from today and we needn't call again.
Now, I was expecting to be given certificates of registration, not necessarily straight away of course. Should we not have to go and collect the certificates or are they usually sent by post....or maybe we misunderstood something he mumbled?

Yes, normally you are issued with a certificate which you have to go and collect a few days/weeks later. Sometimes you need to get it "updated" ie with a more recent date on it if somebody is being awkward and sees that your empadronamiento certificate is more than a few months old!
A garage recently wanted a more up to date one when a friend bought a vehicle, but we got away with it.
Our ayuntamiento has just sent out a summary to all addresses showing who they have registered on the padron at that house and also shows your "nivel académico" (that's why they asked, Zanuck), although we were never asked to provide that info when we registered and so I'm showed as "sin estudios"! The only "lesser" category is "no sabe leer/escribir" so I s'pose that's something!

Yes it does get you a discount on your IBI in Benalmádena.
You have to register in person in the first instance but some Town Halls allow you to renew your certificate online.
As well as buying a car, I think you also sometimes need it to get your kids into school or to register at the medical centre, library, sports centre etc.

There is no need to get a certificate unless you need one (e.g car purchase) They are only valid 3 months, so one can sometimes get away with one a bit older. Some ayuntamientos charge, some dont for the certificate. It can take up to a week to get (depends if the person who has to sign it is about or not( so if you do need one, dont go in at last minute to request it.
Well, that was quick! After registering yesterday lunchtime the lad from the Ayuntamiento called this evening with our electoral registration papers.
Now, I do understand that we can't register here in Spain for the EU Parliament elections if we continue to be registered for same in the UK; however, as 'ratepayers' here, is it in order to register for the municipal elections here whilst still continuing to vote in local elections in UK?
