I will be buying a second-hand Spanish car in 2 weeks' time. I presume I will therefore need to change the NI address to the rented property in which I live (because it is to this ayuntamiento that I will have to pay my car tax)?
I have only been renting for 5 months, but I have owned the properties for 2 years - so I am really unsure about where to register!!!
Any suggestions?
What precisely is it that I need to ask for at the ayuntamiento? a Padron or a Certificado de Empadronamineto?
Cheers,
Alan

As Steve said, you should register where you live. So I guess wherever you're renting as this appears to be your current home.
All you need to do is go to the ayuntamiento and tell them you want to be empadronado. Take your ID or ID's (passport also) to be on the safe side. It takes very little time.
What papers you get after that will be up to you. I would take a couple of Empadronamiento sheets stamped by them as these are deemed "original" and so will be the ones wanted by any official body..... not a fotocopy.
Be aware, in my ayuntamiento in any case, a "Certificado de Empadronamiento" is a fairly heavy piece of red tape. In the case of this document, the local police go to the address to verify who lives there.
I've never needed one yet but I suspect it's for things like multiple family claims on the social services under the one household or some such.
