Found this online and thought it was pretty clear and helpful as to what exactly a Padron is for all us newbies:

How do I register on the Padron and get a Padron  certifcate?

Its full Spanish name in Spanish is a Certificado de Empadronamiento, also known at times as a volante de empadronamiento. If you are registered on the Padron you are considered Empadronado. To get one you need to make an appointment at your local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). Some offices have an online appointment system (called a cita previa), some need a phone call to arrange the date and at others, you can just turn up and wait, but best to arrive early. Also remember that most Town Halls close at 2pm.

Why do I need one for residency?

One of the requirements for any residency application  is proof of living in Spain. A Padron Certificate is official proof of address and shows that you do live in Spain. We are advising all our clients who are registering for the first time as residents, to get on the Padron as soon as possible. Clients who are already on the Padron need to get an updated certificate. It is also advisable that the Certificate shows the first date of registration as well. This is often referred to as a Padron Historico. 

What paperwork will you need?

Proof of who you are – PASSPORT and NIE (if you have one) for each applicantProof of where you live – Property deeds, IBI receipt or nota simple if you are a property owner. If you rent then a valid rental contract and utility bill showing address. Minors – Libro de Familia or Birth Certificates (some Town Halls may request these translated if not in Spanish)Single parents/step-families – If the child has a different surname to the parent registering, the Town Hall may ask for additional documents e.g. signed custody agreement, death certificate, 

*Town Hall will want originals and copies*

Went to register for the Padron in Vera on our appointed day, and it went very smoothly, after a fashion. 

Young nervous guy behind a big Plastic Screen.

Took our Passports and Rental agreement. Then went to get his boss.

The boss started to tell us we couldn't get a Padron as our Rental was only for 5 months and it needed to be 6 months.

In their eyes we where just tourists. 

We asked what do we do, and he just shrugged his shoulders and said contact the Rental Company. 

Now this was a bit of a bummer;-(

The wife was not having any of it, so said we where here to buy a house in Spain, and we needed a NIE, and we couldn't get a NIE without a Padron.

The song, "There's a hole in my bucket dear Liza Dear Liza" started playing in my head;-(

He then asked us if we had a NIE number!! 

No!! was the answer.

This seemed to confuse him. And then he said something to the young guy, and we where off to the races.

All I can say is, thank God for modern electronics. As he had both a printer and a scanner on his desk.

Which he proceeded to use for our benefit. 

As we are in Spain, and it is still a Macho Mano society, he kept directing all his questions at me. 

As only one chair was provided, the wife was sitting and I was standing. 

So it started with him looking up at me. 

Me trying to work out what he was on about. 

Then me repeating it to the wife. 

Who told me the answer and then I told him. 

Strange in this #MeTo metaverse, but that's how things still roll in España.

To make a long story even longer. 

He filled out all the details on his PC.

He did ask us to write out both of our email addresses, and our UK contact phone numbers.(Have them ready)

He insisted on a Spanish contact number at first, but as we didn't have one, he accepted the UK Mobile numbers.

He confirmed our Spanish address. But then wanted to know where we had come from? 

Telling him the UK, seemed to do the trick.

And the last bit was to sign both the physical paper he passed out to us.

And the electronic version via an iPad that was on our side of the Plastic.

We left with our piece of stamped paper where he had written their official email address.

So we are either getting it sent to us as a PDF? Or we will have to email in for it. 

Still a bit confused over that part.

But we contacted our guy who will be taking it to the next stage. 

Making the appointment with the Police and traveling with us to sort out the paperwork. 

We are going for the certificate of nonresident.

So looking good from our side of things.

I will update on the next phase as soon as it happens.

(As a side note, we are both EU citizens, so the post Brexit restriction's and extra paperwork involved imposed by that agreement do not apply to us.)

You usually have to go back to the town hall with said piece of paper hand it to the security man at the door and he goes in and collects the pardon for you. This is normally a couple of days after initial appointment. You also have to pay for the full pardon certificate I think €1 or €2.

Emailed the email address we were told the Padron could be picked up. No appointment needed.

We went up to Vera got past the Gate keeper on the door and the young guy asked had we emailed in.

We said yes, and showed our Passports. He then proceeded to pull out two Padron stamped papers.

No fee charged. So onwards and upwards we hope.
