Spain Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Spain shareholder and beneficial ownership data splits across two registers: the Registro Mercantil Central (Central Commercial Registry) for directors, capital, and filings, and the Registro Central de Titularidades Reales (RCTIR, Central Register of Beneficial Ownership) for UBO records. Access stayed restricted after the 2022 CJEU ruling, running a legitimate-interest model instead, at a 25% direct or indirect ownership threshold under Article 4 of Law 10/2010. The libro de socios and libro de accionistas — the S.L. and S.A. shareholder ledgers — stay private corporate documents, never filed publicly. Non-Spanish applicants face a structural barrier: RCTIR correspondence requires Spanish digital ID and Spanish-language filing. Mercantile Registry data verifies directors and capital directly; intermediate ownership vehicles above the recorded UBO must be resolved jurisdiction by jurisdiction.
