What is Guest Registration?
Guest registration refers to the official recording of guest details upon arrival at a property. This process is mandatory in several countries and is used for legal compliance and public safety purposes.
All guests, whether they have a confirmed reservation or are walk-ins, must provide:
- Full name
- Email contact
- Passport or national ID
- Other country-specific details as required
Hosts are legally responsible for collecting and transmitting this information to the appropriate authorities, ensuring guest data is handled securely and privately.
As of August 2025, Your.Rentals supports automated guest registration in Spain, Italy, and Greece. Let’s explore what each country requires and how Your.Rentals simplifies the process.
🇪🇸 Spain: Guest Registration Requirements
Legal basis: Royal Decree 933/2021
Authority: Spanish Ministry of Interior (SES.Hospedajes)
Key Steps:
Two data submissions required:
- Upon guest check-in
- Upon booking confirmation
- Guests must complete the “Parte de Entrada” form (one per guest).
- Data must be submitted within 24 hours of check-in.
- Reports are sent via the Ministry of Interior's online platform, requiring Cl@ve or a digital certificate.
📌 Retention rule: All reports must be saved digitally for at least 3 years.
How to Register a Guest in Spain
Previously, there was only one single dispatch of the travellers’ report, which was sent to the different security forces such as “Hospederías de la Guardia Civil” and “Policía Nacional” (National Police), depending on the autonomous community. Under the new regulations, two submissions are required and both will be sent directly to the Ministry of the Interior (Ministerio del Interior).
In contrast, the new standard requires two different information submissions taking into account two different moments of a booking. These are:
- The first is the date on which the booking is confirmed by the host.
- The second is when the client checks-in to the accommodation.
Guest Registration Platform – Ministry of the Interior
The Ministry of the Interior has set up a platform in its Sede Electrónica to facilitate the registration of documents and the information to be provided by private hosts and property managers who carry out accommodation activities.
To access the registration process, users must have a digital certificate or be registered in Cl@ve, and once the corresponding form has been completed, all the data necessary to operate in the application will be obtained.
💡 Note: Cl@ve is an electronic identity verification platform for the secure identification and authentication of citizens in their dealings with Public Administrations. In this case it is relevant for rental hosts and property managers.
