So ..... as soon as you are resident in this country you need to apply, usually to your local Police station, for said certificate within 30 days
You need to complete Form EX 16 and then queue normally for a very long time. After the form is accepted they will give you a payment slip which you take to the nearest bank. Take the slip back to the Police station and they will issue you with the certificate. The cost is about €6.80, and you dont need photographs. Take your passport and you padron certificate.

I went for mine last week in Motril...... took 20 mins. You (I) didn't need a Padron. The cost was 10€. All you needed was form E16, completed, plus a copy of it, and your passport and a copy of the main page of it (not ALL the pages). The main inconvenience was not being able to pay at the police station..... you had to go out looking for a bank (any one). How dickensian...!!!
