Nota simple online:
the Spanish Land Registry extract

It is the extract issued by the Spanish Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad) with the key facts about a property: the registered owner, the description of the property (area, boundaries, type) and the charges on it (mortgages, seizures, easements). It is what buyers check before purchasing land or a home in Spain.

No. The nota simple only exists for properties recorded in the Spanish Land Registry. Other countries use other documents: in Italy, the visura catastale and the ispezione ipotecaria; in Portugal, the certidão permanente predial; in France, the état hypothécaire; in Germany, the Grundbuchauszug. We order some of them from the parcel page of each country.

Three blocks: ownership (who is recorded as owner and in what share), the registry description of the property and the charges in force (mortgages, seizures, resolutory conditions, easements). If the property is free of charges, the nota says so explicitly.

Paste the cadastral reference into the search box on this page, or tap the parcel on the map, and on its page go to “Documents for this parcel”. Enter whose name it is requested in (name and ID document) and your email, and pay by card. We locate the registry property, request it from the Registry and email you the nota, with no digital certificate and no need to know the Registry, volume or property number.

The Spanish cadastral reference of the parcel, the name and ID document of the person it is requested for (Spanish NIF or NIE, a passport or a national ID card from another country) and an email. For rural properties and for those recorded before 1997 the Registry cannot find them by cadastral reference alone: then we ask for the CRU or the registry property number, which appear in the deed or in any earlier nota simple.

You usually receive it by email within 24-72 business hours of payment. A confirmation email arrives as soon as you pay.

Yes: it is issued by the Spanish Land Registry and we deliver it unchanged, with its secure verification code. It is informative, and it is the standard document to check ownership and charges before a transaction. For procedures that require certified evidence, such as some court proceedings, there is the certificación registral, which is a different document.

€24.95 as a one-off payment, no subscription. It covers locating the registry property from the cadastral reference or the map, requesting it from the Registry in your name and emailing it to you, with no Spanish digital certificate and no need to know the registry details.

It can happen: not every parcel is matched between the Cadastre and the Registry, especially old and rural ones. If the Registry cannot find the property, we write to ask you for one more detail, usually the name of the current owner (if you are buying, the seller) or the registry property number, and request it again.

No. The nota simple comes from the Land Registry and reports ownership and charges. The cadastral report is built from Cadastre data: GPS location, area, land use, boundaries and an indicative value, and it does not say who the owner is or whether there are mortgages. They complement each other: the Cadastre describes the physical parcel; the Registry, its legal status.

Yes. You only need the cadastral reference of the property in Spain and an ID document: if you have no Spanish NIF or NIE, a passport or your national ID card is fine. You pay by card and receive it by email. The Registry issues the document in Spanish.
