Estepona Town Hall Simplifies Census Registration

Registering on the municipal census is now easier in Estepona, with no prior appointment needed and Saturday opening hours

Registering on the municipal census, known as *empadronamiento*, is a crucial step for many residents in Estepona, ensuring access to local services and contributing to the town's official population count. Estepona Town Hall has launched a new campaign to make this process simpler for residents who live in the municipality but are not yet registered.

The town currently has approximately 85,000 registered residents, but estimates based on service consumption suggest an additional 20,000 people reside here without being on the census.

Easier Registration Process

To facilitate registration, Estepona Town Hall is implementing two key measures. Firstly, the Town Hall will open on Saturday mornings throughout November 2026 specifically for *empadronamiento*. Secondly, residents will no longer need to request a prior appointment to complete this process.

The Town Hall, located on Avenida Juan Carlos I, will be open on Saturday, 14 November, Saturday, 21 November, and Saturday, 28 November, from 10:00 to 14:00. During these hours, residents can register without an appointment.

The removal of the mandatory prior appointment also applies to weekday services, from Monday to Friday. Residents now have the option to either request an appointment and be attended at the scheduled time, or to visit during public opening hours and wait for their turn.

For those who prefer to register digitally, *empadronamiento* can also be completed through the municipal electronic headquarters at https://estepona.sedelectronica.es.

Voting Rights Campaign

In a parallel initiative, Estepona Town Hall is conducting an information campaign aimed at non-Spanish residents, including those from the European Union and non-EU countries. This campaign provides details on the requirements and deadlines for exercising their right to vote.
