(NRA) What it is and what you need it for.

The Rental Registration Number (NRA) is a unique and mandatory code that landlords who wish to rent out a home or room temporarily, especially through digital platforms, must obtain. This number allows authorities to monitor the tourist use of properties and ensure compliance with current regulations.

Why is the NRA mandatory?

- Control and regulation: The NRA allows authorities to monitor the tourist use of properties and verify the legality of rentals.

- Regulatory compliance: Tourist rentals must comply with current regulations, and the NRA facilitates verification of this compliance.

- Greater transparency: The NRA provides greater transparency for both landlords and tenants by allowing properties intended for short-term rentals to be identified and officially registered.

- Combating Illegal Rentals: The NRA helps combat illegal rentals and ensure that tourist rentals are carried out legally and safely.

- Tax Management: The NRA facilitates tax management, helping authorities track rental income.

- Listing on Digital Platforms: Starting July 1, 2025, it will be mandatory to list properties on real estate portals.

Who is affected by the NRA?

- Private owners: Those who want to rent their homes temporarily.

- Rental Management Companies: Those who manage tourist rentals.

- Digital Platforms: Such as Airbnb or Booking, which allow remote booking of accommodations.

In short: The NRA is a single, mandatory code for tourist and short-term rentals that facilitates the control, regulation, and transparency of the rental market. It is important that property owners familiarize themselves with the regulations and obtain an NRA (National Register of Legal Entities) to legally list their properties.

The NRA processing fee is €85.
