REGISTERING AT THE CITY HALL /
EMPADRONAMIENTO
Once you have a permanent address in Spain, you should register
with the City Halls in Madrid (“empadronarse”). There are several
offices around the City.
An appointment is needed in order to register.
It does not cost anything and the certificate is given on the spot.
The City Hall Registration document (“VOLANTE DE
EMPADRONAMIENTO”) is a requirement for all as you will have
to prove to the local authorities that you are living at a specific
address.
This document can only be issued once you have a permanent
accommodation in Madrid. You can look the requisites and
instructions to book an appointment in the Campus Online once
you receive your log-in details before your program starts.

included in the cost of rent.
HEALTH INSURANCE You need a medical insurance for the duration of your program and that is not included in your program fees. It can be an international insurance (be careful with the deductibles as they can be very high) or a Spanish one, as long as it includes full coverage (travel insurances are not accepted) and the repatriation service. Our Office has an agreement with CIGNA and SANITAS and ADESLAS, Spanish companies that offer a discount to IE students. These companies give students the option of getting their insurance policies before arriving to Spain. EUROPEAN HEALTH INSURANCE CARD The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) makes it easier for people from the European Union’s 27 Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland to access health care services during temporary visits abroad. It is a personal and non-transferable document that certifies the holder's entitlement to receive any necessary medically-related health care benefits during their temporary stay in the European Economic Area or Switzerland. Make sure that you have obtained a card before leaving your country. It will help you save time, hassle and money if you fall ill or suffer an injury while abroad. You will need to provide a private insurance policy or the European health card for your immigration process. Once in Spain, we would recommend checking in at your local public health center in order to request information regarding how to receive medical treatment with your EHIC. Keep in mind that your card won't cover you at private clinics and hospitals.

The many procedures relating to importing and registering a foreign vehicle are complex. If you are determined to
bring your vehicle to Spain, we recommend that you check out http://www.dgt.es for specific information.
As far as insurance is concerned, your non-resident status only gives you driving permission for the first three months

CYCLING IN SPAIN
Madrid has a small but growing cycling culture. Please be aware that you will not find designated cycling lanes
throughout the entire city, and thus, will often need to ride in traffic.
