The start of the year brings with it an important obligation for owners and managers of tourist accommodation: the renewal of the Single Rental Registration Number (NRUA).
The NRUA is the official code that identifies each tourist accommodation within the Single Rental Register in Spain.
This number allows the Tax Agency and the relevant registries to monitor and verify tourist rental activity, centralising basic information about the accommodation and its activity. Having it active is essential to operate legally and comply with current regulations. This procedure must be completed before 2 March, and failure to meet the deadline may affect your operations. This measure seeks to strengthen the control and traceability of tourist rentals, so it is important to understand what it is, what the renewal involves and why it is important to do it on time.
Mandatory deadline: 1 February to 2 March
This is the period set aside for the annual renewal of the NRUA, providing information on accommodation activity during the previous year. The submission must be made within these dates through the system provided by the Land Registry, the electronic platform of the Association of Registrars.
Meeting the deadline is essential to keep the registration number active and continue operating normally.
Who is affected by this obligation?
- Owners of holiday homes
- Tourist accommodation managers
- Owners of properties that have been rented out during the previous year
In all cases, it is advisable to check in advance that the registration number is active and that the associated data is correct.
What happens if the NRUA is not renewed on time?
Failure to submit the information form within the established deadline may result in the expiry of the NRUA. This could lead to administrative issues and hinder the operation of the accommodation, especially in relation to tourist rental platforms or in the event of possible checks by the authorities.
For this reason, it is important not to leave renewal until the last minute.

Renewing the NRUA is a mandatory procedure that forms part of the normal management of tourist rentals. Planning ahead, reviewing the information calmly, and meeting the established deadlines helps to avoid problems and manage the activity with greater peace of mind.
