How Ajuntament de Barcelona: OAC compares
Ajuntament de Barcelona: OAC is the city council of the municipality of Barcelona, NOT the Generalitat de Catalunya, whose health service CatSalut issues the TSI health card. The OAC handles the padron for the city of Barcelona only. It is also distinct from the Policia Nacional and the Oficinas de Extranjeria, which handle the NIE, TIE and EU registration certificate. Empadronament is the Catalan term for the same padron registration called empadronamiento elsewhere in Spain.
