Legal compliance in Spain

Guest registration and statistics, one automated flow.

Accommodations in Spain must report both guest registrations and occupancy statistics. Chekin handles both, identifies your region's authority, and meets every deadline for you.

Guest registration

For every guest, including minors

The "parte de viajeros" required by Royal Decree 933/2021. It's filed with SES Hospedajes (Ministerio del Interior) across most of Spain, with the Mossos d'Esquadra in Catalonia, and with the Ertzaintza in the Basque Country.

  • Mandatory for every guest, minors included
  • Chekin files with the right authority, on time and in the correct format
  • Guest logbook stored securely for 3 years

Booking reporting

Not just guests: direct bookings too.

In Spain, beyond reporting guest data, you're required to report direct bookings created and cancelled. Chekin files them for you with the official system for your region.

Don't confuse it with guest reporting: you report every traveller's data, whether the booking came through a direct channel, an OTA or anywhere else.

What Chekin automates

Everything you need to report on time in Spain.

From collecting guest data to filing with SES Hospedajes, Mossos, Ertzaintza and INE — no manual steps in between.

Online check-in built for the law

A form that auto-adapts to the required legal fields by region and validates formats before submission.

Automated filing with the authority

Chekin automatically files guest registrations with SES Hospedajes, the Mossos d'Esquadra or the Ertzaintza, as applicable.

Direct booking reporting

Only direct reservations created and cancelled are reported. OTA bookings are excluded, since they're reported by the OTA itself.

24h deadline guaranteed

Submissions are scheduled within the legal window: Chekin files automatically, generally between 22:00 and 24:00 on the check-in day.

Statistics with INE

Occupancy statistics are filed with INE — and with Turespazo in Galicia — from the same data, with nothing re-typed.

Guest logbook & digital history

The guest logbook is kept securely for 3 years, and every report is time-stamped and exportable, ready for any inspection.

Integrated with Verifactu

Ready for e-invoicing: Chekin connects with Verifactu to report invoicing to the Agencia Tributaria. Mandatory from January 2027.

Tourist taxes

It isn't mandatory across all of Spain — only in regions like Catalonia or the Balearic Islands. Where it applies, Chekin helps you charge it to the guest and keep it ready to declare and settle with your regional government.

How it works

From booking to filed report, with no manual steps.

The same flow runs for every guest, every day, within 24 hours of check-in.

The guest registers

They complete the online check-in with their details and document. OCR scanning autofills the data and validates the format.

We adapt the fields

We adjust the form's legal fields to request only the information legally required by your region's authority.

3

We file with the right system

Chekin files guest registrations with the right authority within 24h, and statistics with INE or Turespazo.

4

You see the status, not the work

Confirmations land in your dashboard, the guest logbook is archived for 3 years, and alerts surface anything that needs attention.

Reporting is not optional in Spain.

Guest registration is mandatory for every tourist accommodation, regardless of size. Failing to report carries fines from €601 to €60,000, on top of the GDPR risk of storing personal data in WhatsApp or spreadsheets. With Chekin, everything is covered and traceable.
