Since May 20, 2026 (decree no. 2026-196 of March 19, 2026), every furnished tourist rental must be registered with the national Declaloc online service and display its 13-character identification number on every listing on Airbnb, Booking, Abritel, or other platforms. Without this number, listings are automatically removed. And in case of false declaration, the fine can reach €20,000. The professionalization of the LCD sector is underway - it's best to be compliant now.
The 13-character registration number
Every rental property receives a unique 13-character identifier, mandatory on all Airbnb, Booking, Abritel, etc. listings since May 20, 2026. The declaration is made online via the national Declaloc e-service. Required information: declarant's identity, full address, property type, guest capacity, possible classification.
Starting May 2026, without a registration number, your listings will be automatically removed from platforms.
Deterrent Penalties
€10,000 for failure to register. €20,000 for false declaration. Automatic removal of listings without a valid number from platforms. These penalties represent a turning point in the sector's oversight.
