Hi,
I was reading about the procedure for holiday rentals.
https://www.spanishsolutions.net/blog/businesses-in-spain/the-new-legal-procedure-for-holiday-rentals/
We got touristic licence but looks like we have to register each guess with the police including their names and ID ( passport) numbers.
Is that true? What if the guest refuses to provide?

Thanks
Lana

If the guest will not provide the details you should not have accepted the booking

We've been renting our apartment out for short-term holiday rentals since last year, we have our Tourist Licence, but I havent heard about this before. Looking on the internet there are to be quite a few articles saying much the same thing so it appears that we will have to get guests to fill in a form on arrival. The only thing I dont understand is why it has come up now, the form linked in your article was produced in 2003 so why wasnt it made known before? I will check if our Property Manager is aware of it.

As a side note, you dont happen to know where we can get the Tourist Licence sign that we should display by the front door produced so you?
cheers

Can you point to the link for the form please

Sorry I thought I had seen it in the link the OP gave. Anyway here's an official copy https://www.boe.es/buscar/pdf/2003/BOE-A-2003-13865-consolidado.pdf
You have to notify the Policia within 24 hours of guests arrival and keep a copy of the form for 3 years.

That form does not seem right to me and dated 2003 also .It is very much like the forms that Hotels and boarding houses have to fill in .

I have seen the same form on other websites as well which is why I thought it was odd to suddenly come up now. This is a more recent article from an AirBnB owner https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Hospedar/Registro-de-entrada-de-parte-de-viajeros/td-p/224852&prev=search

Just read this on an AirBnB forum, it was posted recently

"Hello again, I am from the Valencian community and I just checked with the civil guard of my town and he tells me that for private individuals registration of guests or guest registration parts or anything is not obligatory. I see contradictions and it is not clear to me, does anyone know anything please? And what do the individuals do in these cases? Thank you"

So it looks like the age old problem of contradictory information regarding rental of a single property. We arent in Quesada until the end of June so it might be helpful if someone out there could check with the local Policia exactly what they want.

I have emailed to my lawyer and property manager this information and asked to find out where I can get this sign that has to be displayed and should we inform policy about all our guests. As soon as I get any information from them I will post here.
