The entry into force of Order VAU/1560/2025 has generated many doubts among holiday rental owners. This is a new information obligation, not a new registry nor a new license.
Basically, it establishes that holders of an NRUA number must submit, once a year, a form with the stays carried out in their property during the previous year. It is a registry control of the use of the property as a short-term rental; it has no tax purpose and does not replace the traveler registration.
Only those owners who obtained the Unique Registry Number of Rental (NRUA) during 2025 must submit this form, since those who obtained it in 2026 will not have to complete this procedure until next year, and in 2024 the NRUA did not exist.
All owners or operators who have an active NRUA are included, whether for vacation or tourist rental, rental for work reasons, academic purposes, medical treatments or other temporary non-permanent uses. Each dwelling that has an NRUA must be declared independently.
It must be submitted between February 1 and March 2, 2026, registering the data corresponding to the 2025 fiscal year. Therefore, the stays made during the entire year 2025 are declared, and it will become an annual obligation during the month of February with the previous year’s data in the coming years.
Even if the property has not had any reservations, the form must still be submitted, marking the option “without activity.” Here is the link to the Official State Gazette (BOE) that includes the documents to be submitted at the end of the page.
What data is requested in this document
This is an informative document; it does not include personal data of the guests nor economic data. The data requested are:
Data of the owner or person submitting
Unique Registry Code of the property (CRU)
NRUA number
Purpose of the rental (vacational, work, studies, etc.)
Number of guests per stay
Check-in date
Check-out date (always complete to avoid issues)
It is very important to submit it because not doing so may lead the Ministry of Housing to initiate a procedure to revoke the NRUA, which would prevent continued marketing of the property on digital platforms.
The order does not establish direct financial penalties, but it provides for significant consequences, such as registry issues, requests for correction, NRUA withdrawal and the inability to legally operate the property as a short-term rental.
The form is submitted to the competent Property Registry, with two options available: in-person submission on paper or telematic submission through the registry association. It is recommended to submit it in XBRL format to speed up automatic validations, since this is the electronic format used in the official taxonomy of this form.
From Cubos Holiday Homes we make two options available to help you comply with this obligation.
We take care of the procedure, prepare the NRUA Informative Declaration, submit it to the Property Registry and confirm when the procedure has been completed. If we are missing any data or documentation, we will contact the owner to complete it within the legal period. To know the cost of this procedure, contact us.
Cubos Holiday Homes will send you the already completed NRUA Informative Declaration and the property owner must submit it to the Property Registry where the dwelling is registered. The owner must pay the corresponding invoice directly at the Registry. The cost of the procedure is the registry invoice, which is 32€.
No. The NRUA Informative Form is not a new license nor does it replace any existing one. It is only an annual informative declaration about the use of the property.
Yes. Even if you did not have any stays during the year, you must still submit it, marking the option “no activity.”
No. The form does not request names, ID numbers, passports or economic data. Only check-in and check-out dates and the number of guests per stay are declared.
The regulation does not establish a direct fine, but it may generate registry incidents, correction requests or even the revocation of the NRUA, which would prevent the property from being advertised on platforms.
Yes. Each property with an active NRUA must be declared independently, even if they belong to the same owner.
You can submit it personally at the Property Registry or electronically.
It is not mandatory to hire anyone, but having assistance can prevent formal errors that may generate later requirements.
No. They are different procedures. The NRUA Form is registry-based and not tax-related; it does not replace the traveler registration nor tax obligations.
The NRUA Informative Form is a simple procedure, but an important one to keep your property up to date and avoid future incidents. If you prefer to have support or simply want to make sure everything is correct before submitting it, our team can guide you with no obligation. Sometimes, a small review in time prevents unnecessary procedures later.
