NRA Number
NRA Number – Your Mandatory Rental Registration in Spain
Renting out your property in Spain? The NRA number is legally required to advertise on Airbnb, Booking, and all OTA platforms. We handle the registration for you.
What is an NRA Number?
The NRA (Número de Registro de Alquiler) is a national registration number for short-term rental properties in Spain, introduced under Real Decreto 1312/2024. It is part of Spain's Registro Único de Arrendamientos – a unified national register designed to bring transparency and compliance to the growing rental market.
Every property advertised for short-term rental (under 12 months) must have a valid NRA number. This applies whether you rent out through Airbnb, Booking.com, or even advertise directly on social media.
Why Is It Mandatory?
- Legal requirement since 2024 – all short-term rentals in Spain must be registered with a valid NRA number.
- Required on all platforms – Airbnb, Booking.com, Rentalia, and other OTAs verify your NRA. Without it, your listing can be removed.
- Applies even through agencies – if a management company handles your rental, you still need the NRA as the property owner.
- Annual reporting obligation – from 2026, property owners must submit annual rental activity reports (Depósito de NRUA) linked to their NRA.
- Fines for non-compliance – properties without registration risk penalties, delisted ads, and halted rental activity.
Important
What Happens Without an NRA?
Spain has been cracking down on unlicensed short-term rentals. In 2024–2025, over 120,000 listings were removed from platforms for non-compliance. Your listing can be blocked, you risk fines from regional and national authorities, you cannot legally collect rental income, and your NRUA can be suspended or revoked.
