Parte de viajeros for minors

Parte de viajeros for minors: how to register children

The parte de viajeros covers every person staying — children included. What changes is age: minors under 14 are registered through the adult accompanying them, with the kinship declared; from 14, the minor is registered like any other traveller, with their own document. This is the clear guide so no guest is left out of the register.

§ 01

A minor goes in the parte de viajeros too

There is no minimum age for the parte de viajeros: every person staying is registered, an infant included. What changes with age is how they are registered. Minors under 14 are reported through the adult accompanying them. From 14, the minor is registered exactly like any other traveller, with their own data and their own document.

§ 02

Under 14: kinship is mandatory

A minor under 14 provides no document of their own: they are linked to the accompanying adult, and the kinship must be declared — son or daughter, grandchild, nephew or niece, ward. Royal Decree 933/2021 made kinship a mandatory field whenever a minor is among the travellers. Without it, SES.Hospedajes rejects the filing, so it is one of the easiest rejection reasons to avoid.

§ 03

Ages 14 to 17: a traveller with their own document

From 14, the minor stops being registered through the adult and is reported as one more traveller: full name, sex, date of birth, nationality, and document type and number. In Spain the DNI is mandatory from 14, so a Spanish minor that age already has one; a foreign minor identifies with their passport or NIE/TIE, just like an adult.

§ 04

How Estadia handles it

The pre-check-in form asks once per booking whether any minor under 14 is travelling. If so, it collects the kinship with the accompanying adult, and validation will not let a minor be filed without an adult registered on the same booking. From 14, the minor fills in their own form like any traveller. The filing goes out complete, with kinship in place, without you having to remember the rule.

Frequently asked questions

Parte de viajeros for minors: most asked

Does an infant need a parte de viajeros?

Yes. The parte de viajeros covers every person staying, with no minimum age. A minor under 14, an infant included, is registered through the adult accompanying them, with the kinship declared.

Does a minor under 14 need a DNI for the parte?

No. Minors under 14 provide no document of their own: they are registered linked to the accompanying adult. In Spain the DNI becomes mandatory from age 14.

What kinship has to be declared?

The minor's relationship to the accompanying adult: son or daughter, grandchild, nephew, sibling, ward, and so on. What matters is that it is declared — SES.Hospedajes rejects a minor's filing without a kinship.

What if the minor is not travelling with a direct relative?

The relationship with the adult responsible for the stay still has to be declared — a guardian or a group leader, for example. There must always be an accompanying adult registered on the booking.

From what age does a minor fill in their own form?

From 14. From that age the minor is registered as one more traveller, with their own name, date of birth, nationality and document (Spanish DNI or passport).
