Before you advertise your property
Hosting requirements in Spain depend on national rules, the autonomous community and the municipality where your property is located.
Check the registrations, permissions and tax information that apply to your accommodation before advertising. Completing fields in Travelnest does not, by itself, establish full legal compliance.
What property and identification details do I need?
The information requested in Travelnest can include:
| Detail | What it means |
|---|---|
| Referencia Catastral | The reference identifying the property in Spain’s Cadastre. It is generally a 20-character combination of letters and numbers. Check the property documents or IBI property-tax receipt for the reference. |
| Country of citizenship | The citizenship information requested for the person identified in the form. |
| Personal identification number | The relevant identification details, such as a DNI for a Spanish citizen or an NIE where applicable for a foreign national. |
Make sure the details relate to the correct person and property. If you are unsure which identification is accepted for your circumstances, ask Host Support before submitting it.
How do I update this information in Travelnest?
If you manage multiple properties, make sure you select the correct property before making changes.
1. Open your property
Log in to your Travelnest account, go to Properties and select the property.
2. Enter the required information
Open Local laws and regulations and complete the property, identification and registration fields requested.
Check that any reference or identification number matches the relevant official document before submitting your information.
What regional and local rules apply?
Each autonomous community has its own distinct laws and regulations, and you will have different obligations depending on where your property is located in Spain. We've created a handy guide which explains how to register in each region:
Where can I get help?
- Your autonomous community’s tourism authority: Ask about regional accommodation registration and operating rules.
- Your Ayuntamiento: Confirm municipal requirements and restrictions.
- The relevant tax authority or a qualified local adviser: Ask about tax reporting and the identification required for your circumstances.
- Host Support: For help entering information in your Travelnest account, contact Host Support.
Travelnest can help with account information, but cannot confirm that your property meets every legal requirement.
