Change of town of residence -Galicia
 

Can anyone point us the right way - I am going round in circles on google!
Euro passport, registered as resident in Santiago de Compostela, which is A Coruna,Galicia, for over a year.
If he moves to Fisterra/Finisterre as a resident, we understand he needs to do more paperwork, even though its still in A Coruna.

What we can't find is which bits of paper he will need and how to go about sorting it out. Complicated by the fact a particularly unpleasant piece of work did the original application for S de C then vamoosed with all the paperwork, he only has his actual S de C resident certificate & his passport.

As ever, any help & links very gratefully recieved :)

Sorry, but I cannot see the complication - register on the padron in Fisterra/Finisterre and then I would exchange the resident certificate for the TIE but that is not compulsory. For more on TIE - https://expatsmagazine.org/immigration/

He will also need to register at the local health centre as soon as he has the padron...

Nothing else is required, except all the relevant change of address letters etc.

i was so hoping it would be that easy!! I think he has some friends here making it sound harder than it is!!

Well I have moved several times and that is all I have done - don't see how Galicia can be that dramatically different in this context!

But maybe we will get a post from Galicia....

All sounds good, thanks. apparently the info came from a friend who is a real worry-wort, and after a real year from hell we just want to avoid any hidden snags, so very grateful for the reassurance :)
