Certificado de Empadronamiento para Viajar no longer needed to obtain resident discount

[Janet]

Except that with  the new system, presumably those who move away and sign on the padron elsewhere will not just be able to hang on to their green certificates for the discount since the database will know they have empadronado somewhere else, no?

Yes, good point!

Somebody who moved away once suggested I should add their name to my rental contract here so they could keep a padron going in both places and therefore get the resident travel discount. Sure, I said, if you pay half my rent...

Just wanted to report that I was just on Armas's site booking ferry tickets and said we were resident.  I had to enter our names and NIEs and province and municipio and it has a lovely little tick box where I could authorise them to check their database.  Wonderful!

Until it came back and said that our resident status could not be verified and I have to show documentation at any Armas office in order to print the ticket. 

Not upset enough for a rant, sorry @Periklēs.

They've only got until November to get that sorted out so they'd better get with it!!
