My name's Alex and this is my website all about Orihuela Costa in Spain. Register now for free to talk about General Orihuela Costa discussion and much more!
My article reflects what happens in some town halls. All you can do is ask if they'll issue a temporary padrón whilst you get your residency certificate.
I'd also point out that the padrón isn't legally necessary for a residency application - it's just interpreted that way at some of the offices who handle the applications.
I suggest you start a new thread asking anyone who has got residency fairly recently if they were required to produce a padrón and, if not, what other documentation was considered acceptable. Then go to that office if Orihuela won't issue a temporary padrón.
