-
Anyone who rents—or plans to rent—a Spanish property on a short- or medium-term basis.
Whether you own a holiday villa, city apartment, rural cottage, or even individual rooms, if you advertise on platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, HomeToGo or similar, you need an NRUA. -
Private owners, companies, family trusts and other investment vehicles, including non-resident landlords who live abroad but let property in Spain.
-
Hosts in every autonomous community, with particular urgency for regions that already demand a visible tourist-licence number—Murcia, Andalucía, Comunidad Valenciana, Madrid, Balearic Islands, etc.
-
Owners whose Community of Owners (HOA) must authorise tourist use—from 3 April 2025 new or expanded lets require at least 60 %-majority approval.
-
Landlords keen to avoid automatic de-listings, fines (€6 000 – €60 000) and potential tax-audit flags that follow unregistered holiday rentals.

Who Is This Service For?

Legal Requirements
-
Qualified electronic certificate

You (or your lawyer, using a power of attorney) must have a valid Spanish firma electrónica or recognised EU e-ID to log in to the Colegio de Registradores “Ventanilla Única Digital”.
-
-
Property identifiers
-
Full postal address.
-
CRU (Código Registral Único).
-
Land-registry finca number.
-
Cadastral reference (referencia catastral).
-
-
Existing tourist licence and “Declaración Responsable”
-
Regional licence number (e.g. Murcia form P-1890) proving the dwelling already meets local tourism standards.
-
-
Capacity and letting modality
-
Maximum number of guests the property can host.
-
Indication whether the rental is for the entire dwelling or by individual rooms.
-
-
Community-of-Owners consent (where applicable)
-
For registrations filed on or after 3 April 2025, written evidence that at least 60 % of the community voted to allow tourist rentals in the building/urbanisation.
-
-
Regulatory-compliance statement
-
A self-declaration that the dwelling satisfies all regional and municipal requirements (safety equipment, insurance, accessibility, etc.).
-
False declarations can void the NRUA and trigger fines ranging from €6 000 to €60 000.
-

Process: Our Approach
-
Eligibility & paperwork audit
Review your title deed, tourist licence, HOA statutes and regional rules; flag any gaps before filing. -
Community-approval support (where needed)
Draft meeting agenda, proxy forms and simple majority wording; attend (remotely or in person) to secure the ≥60 % vote. -
Digital registration dossier
Compile identifiers, licence details, capacity data; prepare the PDF with recognised electronic signature. -
Ventanilla Única filing
Log in on your behalf, complete the online form, attach the dossier and submit. A provisional NRUA code is issued instantly. -
Platform synchronisation
Enter the NRUA on Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo, HomeToGo, Google Travel and any channel manager you use, preventing automated de-listings. -
Final validation & certificate download
Monitor the file until the Registrars’ office confirms the definitive code (usually within a week); email you the PDF certificate. -
Ongoing compliance
Diary future obligations (e.g. Valencian five-year renewals, changes in guest capacity, HOA rule amendments) and remind you before deadlines.
Typical timeline: same-day provisional NRUA once paperwork is complete; 4-6 weeks in regions (Murcia, Andalucía) to secure or regularise the underlying tourist licence if still pending.

Benefits - Why Choose Our Service
-
Continuous listing & income—avoid abrupt take-downs by booking portals when the NRUA becomes compulsory on 1 July 2025.
-
Regulatory peace of mind—we reconcile state-level (Real Decreto 1312/2024) and regional rules, so you meet both sets simultaneously.
-
Lower penalty risk—proper filing plus verifiable HOA approval shields you from fines that start at €6 000 and can exceed €60 000 for repeat breaches.
-
Single point of contact—one bilingual lawyer manages registrars, regional tourism desks and your community administrator.
-
Future-proofing—automatic alerts for renewals (e.g. Valencian five-year validity) and legislative updates keep you compliant long-term.
