Show answer and explanation
✓ El certificado de empadronamiento
The certificado de empadronamiento (certificate of registration on the local census), also called volante de padrón, shows in which municipality you live, and you ask for it at the ayuntamiento (town council). You must be registered where you live, and it is used for many procedures: health care, schools, benefits or immigration. The birth certificate shows when and where you were born, not where you live now. The driving licence does not prove your residence either.
