Good morning, I hope you are well and happy. 

Well, we made it to Cuevas from Mollina, Malaga two weeks ago.  Apart from having no kitchen, everything is great 😊.... Except for red tape that is, which we tried to start yesterday. 

We made an appointment at the Town Hall to apply for our padron and turned up yesterday with our nota simpla.  No luck, got sent away saying to come back with either a contract for the basura, luz or agua.  All very well, but, according to the post office, our address does not exist! 

1.  How can we find out correct address? 

2.   How do we apply for basura and register for IBI? 

Does anyone know if there is a way (easy way) of changing the address of our documents online?  (once we know what it is!) I'm thinking of our Residencia cards, driving licences and Tarjeta Sanitaria. 

Thank you

Carol

Hi, glad you arrived safe and sound.

I believed that a rental agreement or your escritura was sufficient to register with the Ayuntamiento.

I would try again.

Regarding the contracts for services, those will have been done by your solicitor and given to you with the escritura. Maybe you should contact him/her to sort out the whole lot as we all know the Spanish just love paperwork.

Good luck 👍🏻

Hi and Welcome to Cuevas Del Almanzora!

Re: Padrón; You need to go to the town hall with your escritura, passport and NIE and that should suffice.

In terms of suppliers (electric, water, basura IBI) your solicitor should have organized for these to be in your name, so worth checking with them.

Regards
