Guest registration in the Valencian Community: the report goes to SES Hospedajes
The Valencian Community has no police registry of its own: your property’s traveller report is filed with SES Hospedajes, and BookCheckin files it automatically. Plus what registration requires (Decree 10/2021 and Decree-law 9/2024), the urban compatibility report, the deadlines and the penalties.
In the Valencian Community the traveller report goes to SES Hospedajes
Unlike Catalonia or the Basque Country, the Valencian Community has no guest-registration police registry of its own. Each guest’s report is filed with SES Hospedajes, the Spanish state platform run by the Ministry of the Interior, under Royal Decree 933/2021. It is the channel for any accommodation in Valencia, Alicante or Castellón.
So here we do file the report for you: BookCheckin collects the guest’s data, validates the document and sends the report to SES Hospedajes within the deadline, without you having to log into the Ministry’s portal on every arrival.

Who must report in the Valencian Community
The duty to report guests covers every accommodation activity in Valencian territory, whatever its size:
- ✓Hotels, hostels and guest houses.
- ✓Homes for tourist use and their managers.
- ✓Tourist apartments and apartment blocks.
- ✓Rural houses and rural tourism establishments.
- ✓Campsites and camping areas.
- ✓Managers and platforms intermediating the rental of these accommodations.
24-hour deadline and three-year retention
The timing is the state rule: each traveller’s data must be reported to SES Hospedajes within 24 hours of arrival, and the establishment must keep its guest register for three years, available for inspection.
The fields are those of the traveller report: guest identification, document type and number, date of birth, nationality and the stay and payment details. Always copy them exactly as they appear on the document — rushed transcription at the front desk is the leading cause of defective reports.
The Valencian registration: compatibility report and Tourism Registry
The traveller report does not replace the tourism authorisation. In the Valencian Community there is no regional licence in the strict sense: a home for tourist use starts with a declaración responsable and enrolment in the Tourism Registry, on the framework of Decree 10/2021 and Decree-law 9/2024. Since 2024, the decisive requirement is a favourable municipal urban-compatibility report, with a single cadastral reference; the registration lapses after five years.
BookCheckin does not handle that report or the registration — you process them with the council and the regional government. What we automate is registering each traveller, which kicks in the moment you start hosting.

The state Single Registry (NRUA), annulled by the Supreme Court
Do not confuse the Valencian registration with the Single Rental Registry (NRUA) that Royal Decree 1312/2024 created alongside its Digital Single Window. The Supreme Court annulled it in several 2026 rulings, so you no longer need to obtain the NRUA number to advertise a short-term rental or file its annual report.
That annulment touches neither the Tourism Registry enrolment nor the traveller report: the SES Hospedajes filing under RD 933/2021 remains fully in force and independent. What fell is the duplicated state layer, not the regional one or the security one.

Penalties: what is at stake
Guest reporting is governed by Organic Law 4/2015 on the protection of public safety: irregularities in completing the registers are a minor infringement, fined €100 to €600, and failing to meet the documentary-registration obligations can be a serious infringement, fined €601 to €30,000.
On top of that, through a separate track, the Law 15/2018 on tourism, leisure and hospitality applies to operating without registration. They are different proceedings: one looks at the guest register; the other at your authorisation to host. The licence guide covers the second.

What BookCheckin automates in the Valencian Community
In the Valencian Community, BookCheckin closes the guest-registration loop end to end: the guest completes the online check-in before arrival, scans their document with data validation and signs; the platform files the report with SES Hospedajes within the 24-hour deadline, handles the system’s errors and keeps the receipt.
We do not process the compatibility report or your registration, and we do not store the document image — only the data the law requires — but we do remove the daily manual work of the report. BookCheckin has more than 2,500 accepted reports on SES Hospedajes; you can start from a single property, with no minimums, and try it free for three months.

Frequently asked questions
Does the traveller report for my tourist flat in Valencia or Alicante go to SES Hospedajes?+
Yes. The Valencian Community has no police registry of its own, so each guest’s report goes to SES Hospedajes under RD 933/2021. BookCheckin files it automatically for you.
What is the deadline to report in the Valencian Community?+
The state one: 24 hours from the guest’s arrival. You must also keep the guest register for three years, available for inspection.
Does BookCheckin process the compatibility report and the registration for me?+
No. BookCheckin automates guest registration with SES Hospedajes; the municipal urban-compatibility report and the enrolment in the Tourism Registry (Decree 10/2021 and Decree-law 9/2024) are things you handle with the council and the regional government.
Do I still need the NRUA number to advertise my home in the Valencian Community?+
No. The Supreme Court annulled the Single Rental Registry (NRUA) of RD 1312/2024 in 2026, so you no longer need that number or its annual report. The SES Hospedajes traveller report is unchanged.
What is the penalty for not reporting guests in the Valencian Community?+
Organic Law 4/2015 applies: €100 to €600 for minor infringements and €601 to €30,000 where it qualifies as serious. That is a separate regime from the Law 15/2018 sanctions for operating without registration.
