You can sign up for home insurance online through our official registration portal here.

What information do I need to have available when signing up?

When signing up for home insurance in Spain, have the following information ready:

  • An estimate of the built surface area of your house. If uncertain, you can check your property contract or consult online sources, such as the Spanish property registry or Idealista.

  • The year your house was built. If unknown, consult your contract, the Spanish property registry, Idealista, or your local town hall.

  • Your mortgage loan number if you have a mortgage. This 20-digit number can be found on mortgage payment receipts, your mortgage contract or by contacting your bank.

Spanish Property Registry (Registro de la Propiedad)

  • The Spanish property registry contains official, government-verified data about each property, including registered surface area, ownership details, and property characteristics. Because it is maintained by public authorities, it is considered a highly reliable and up-to-date source.

Property portals such as Idealista

  • Platforms like Idealista often display surface area information based on listing data, cadastral records or owner declarations. While this is not a legal document, it is a useful reference if you don’t have immediate access to official paperwork and need a quick estimate when signing up.

What identification documents can I use to register?

You can register using your passport number, your NIE (Foreigners' Identification Number), or your Spanish DNI (National Identity Document).
