Change your tax address and census details (Form 030)

Form 030 is the census declaration for registering in the Census of Taxpayers, changing your address and/or modifying personal details. It is used by individuals who do NOT carry out economic activities (they are not business owners, professionals or withholders) to keep their details updated with the Agencia Tributaria or AEAT (the Spanish tax agency).

With 1 single form you can: register in the census, report or modify your tax address, set or change an address for notification purposes, modify personal details, report a change in marital status, request a tax identification number when you do not have a Spanish ID card or NIE (a foreigner identification number), request a new tax ID card or update your telephone number and email address for AEAT notices.

The tax address of an individual is the place of their habitual residence. It is unique and it is mandatory to keep it updated, because it is the address to which the administration sends its notifications.

Form 030 is for individuals who are not part of the Census of Business Owners, Professionals and Withholders. That is, private individuals: employees, pensioners, students, unemployed people or people without economic activity.

If you are an autónomo (a registered freelance worker), professional or business owner, you do NOT use Form 030: you must use Form 036 to report your census changes, with a deadline of 1 month.

Form 030 can also be used by foreigners without a NIE, residents in Spain under 14 years of age without a Spanish ID card or NIE, and Spanish nationals residing abroad who need to request a tax identification number for a transaction with tax implications in Spain.

Reporting a change of tax address is mandatory. The general deadline is 3 months from the moment the change occurs.

There is 1 important exception: if the deadline to submit your income tax return (IRPF) expires within those 3 months, the change of address is reported directly on the income tax return itself, without the need for a separate Form 030.

The rest of the communications (modification of personal details, census registration, tax ID request, change of marital status) are submitted when the event that motivates them occurs, without a deadline as strict as the one for the address.

When the change of address affects both spouses, it can be reported on 1 single Form 030 signed by the 2 of them.

For a change of tax address or personal details, the interested party's Spanish ID card or NIE card is generally sufficient (or a passport if the tax ID is type M or L). If the change involves moving your tax residence abroad, the AEAT may request a tax residence certificate issued by the tax authority of the other country.

To request a tax ID without a Spanish ID card or NIE, the documentation depends on the case: a foreigner (tax ID M) needs a valid passport plus proof of having applied for a NIE or a document proving they are not obliged to have one, and proof of the transaction with tax implications (employment contract, deed, university admission letter, etc.); a resident in Spain under 14 years of age (tax ID K) needs the tax ID of the father, mother or legal representative and a family book or birth certificate; a Spanish national residing abroad (tax ID L) needs a passport and proof of residence outside Spain.

Submitting Form 030 to the AEAT does not involve a tasa (official fee): it is free of charge. Managora tells you exactly what you need to provide and you can check the updated price of our service on the procedure's page.

There are 3 ways. Online, at the AEAT electronic headquarters, identifying yourself with Cl@ve (the Spanish electronic identity system), an electronic certificate or an electronic Spanish ID card. On paper (printed form), by handing it in at a tax agency office. Or by certified mail addressed to the administration corresponding to your address.

For a change of tax address, the fastest way is the "My census details" option at the electronic headquarters: the modification is immediately transferred to the AEAT database.

If you do not have a certificate or Cl@ve, the headquarters offers an extraordinary online submission procedure, or there is always the option of submitting the printed form at an office. Managora prepares the form, signs it with you using a simple signature and submits it for you, saving you the technical part.

Form 030 is still regulated by Orden EHA/3695/2007, modified by Orden HAC/1526/2024, of 11 December (BOE of 9 January 2025), in force since 3 February 2025 and fully applicable in 2026.

The most visible change of this reform affects the telephone and email address section: the contact details you provide to receive notices are unique and common for the AEAT, the Economic Administrative Tribunals and the Directorate General for Taxes, although you can choose to opt in or out of notices from each organisation separately.

The same reform abolished Form 037 (simplified census declaration) for business owners and professionals, who now always use Form 036. This does not affect Form 030 for private individuals, but it is worth bearing in mind if your situation changes and you start carrying out an economic activity.
