Hello, I understand your concern, as registration at the Town Hall (empadronamiento) is usually the first step when someone wants to stabilise their situation in Spain. It is important to do it properly. Not every room rental contract is valid for registration purposes, and in practice we frequently see cases where the Town Hall rejects the application because subletting was not authorised or the property owner did not give proper consent. Moreover, registration is not just a simple administrative step. It is the foundation of many immigration procedures (arraigo, EU family member residence cards, status modifications, etc.), and it can also affect how your period of residence is calculated for a future Spanish nationality application. If it is not structured correctly from the beginning, it may create complications later on. Our firm works exclusively in immigration and international mobility law. We review rental and employment contracts on a daily basis, as they are the legal foundation of most migration processes in Spain. If you wish, we can analyse your specific situation and advise you on how to structure this correctly and safely. To assist you properly, please let me know: The city where you want to register The purpose of the registration Whether you already have a specific room arranged or are still searching. From there, I will explain how we can proceed. Kind regards, Marc Ferreres
