If you own a tourist rental property in Spain, you’re likely familiar with registering guests with the Guardia Civil, but this is changing. As of October 1st, the registration process is now managed through the SES Hospedajes platform of the State Secretariat for Security. Although the change is already in effect, there is an adaptation period until December 2nd for property owners to get familiar with the new system and complete the registration correctly. This platform allows owners to register both their properties and tenants, becoming the primary tool for complying with this legal obligation.
Here, we explain how to register on this new platform easily and effectively.
