What is the Rental Registration Number?

The rental registration number (also known as a single rental registration) is an official identification required to rent your home on platforms such as Airbnb, Booking, Rentalia, VRBO, and others. It is mandatory to have it before July 1, 2025 in order to publish your accommodation.

Why is the Rental Registration Number Important?

  • Legal compliance: Avoid penalties and fines.
  • Access to platforms: Without this number, you will not be able to advertise your property.
  • Security and transparency: Ensures legality and protection for owners and guests.
