Pulpi Town Hall - Part 2

So, having got the additional statement including NIE numbers we were back at Pulpi Town Hall. And once again, we handed over our paperwork and in our very limited Spanish said we were there to get our empadriamento. Back came a long sentence in Spanish which we didn't understand. On 2nd repetition we picked up on the word registrar and realised they were asking if we'd registered.

Then the penny dropped. We needed to register on the Padron and we would then be given our certificates of registration - the empadriamente were the certificates.

So we told them we had not registered and we were given 2 forms to complete, which one of the council employees explained what we needed to put where. The one thing that really threw me was that they wanted our education level - why? Would it have an impact on whether we got accepted on the padron or not? Did they only accept people of a certain academic level? Whatever, we duly completed all the sections, passed over copies of our documents which we had done before we got there and confirmed that was everything.

Yes, we were told, that's all - come back on Wednesday (we were on Monday).

So, today is Wednesday. Neil was due on the golf course with his son so I went through to Pulpi with Jody & Cadey.

Would today be any easier?
