For a creator based in Spain, the right OnlyFans agency is one whose company you can find in the Registro Mercantil, that puts its fee and exit terms in a written contract, and that understands the Spanish rules around you: registering as autónomo with Hacienda and the Seguridad Social, labelling paid promotion, and the age-verification rules being written for adult platforms. Where the agency is based matters less than whether those answers come back clear and in writing.

Work with SirenCY from Spain

- 2. Talk it through to check fit and scope.
- 3. Get it in writing before anything starts.
Age verification in Spain: what is already law and what is still a bill
Spain already has one binding age-check rule. Article 89.1.e of the Ley 13/2022 General de Comunicación Audiovisual requires video-sharing platforms to run age verification for content that could harm minors and, in every case, to block minors from the most harmful material, which the law names as gratuitous violence and pornography.
The wider reform has not passed. The Proyecto de Ley Orgánica for protecting minors in digital environments was presented to the Congreso on 27 March 2025 and sits with the Justice Committee, where the amendment period was extended many times. Europa Press reported on 29 September 2026 that the drafting panel would keep working “in the coming weeks” with no closing date agreed, on a text that would bar under-16s from social networks with harmful content and toughen the response to intimate images shared without consent.
- The data protection authority set the privacy terms early. The AEPD's December 2023 decalogue of principles says users should prove they are “authorized to access” rather than be identified as minors, that the proof should be anonymous to service providers, and that browsing must not be profiled or linked across services.
- The government built a tool to match. On 1 July 2024 the digital ministry presented Cartera Digital Beta, a mobile wallet holding a government-issued age credential that is shown to an adult platform at login.
- Brussels is aligning the approach across the EU. The European Commission's 14 July 2025 announcement named Spain among the five frontrunner countries working on national age-verification apps.
For a creator, the duty to check fans' ages sits with the platform, but expect fans in Spain to meet credential-style checks as these rules settle. An agency that talks about getting fans past age checks, or about bending your own ID verification, is describing conduct that platforms ban. The overview of age verification laws for creators compares Spain with other countries.
When Spanish law treats a creator like a broadcaster
Article 94 of Ley 13/2022 turns some creators into “usuarios de especial relevancia”, users of special relevance who must follow minors' protection and advertising rules and enrol in the state register of audiovisual providers. A user qualifies only by meeting every condition at once, and Real Decreto 444/2024, in force since 2 May 2024, fixes the numbers:
| Decree test | Threshold in the decree | Note for subscription creators |
|---|---|---|
| Significant income | Gross income of 300,000 euros or more in the previous calendar year from activity on video-sharing platforms (art. 3) | The decree counts fees and payments made by your audience, not only brand income. |
| Significant audience | 1,000,000 followers on one platform, or 2,000,000 combined, at any point in the previous year (art. 4) | This must be met together with the video test below. |
| Regular output | 24 or more videos published in the previous calendar year, whatever their length (art. 4) | Counted across all the video-sharing platforms you use. |
These are high bars, and whether a subscription site counts as a video-sharing platform under the law is a question for a Spanish lawyer. Advertising labels apply to everyone, though. The influencer advertising code run by Autocontrol, the advertisers' association aea and IAB Spain, whose new version took effect on 1 October 2025, asks for clear wording such as “publicidad”, “publi” or “colaboración pagada” at the start of the message, not hidden among other hashtags or behind a “more” click.
Registering as an autónomo: a set-up checklist
Regular creator income in Spain generally means registering as self-employed with both the tax agency and the Seguridad Social. Use this list to brief a gestor or asesor fiscal rather than as a substitute for one.
- File the census declaration with the Agencia Tributaria on modelo 036, which also carries your activity details for the business activities tax (IAE). The simplified modelo 037 no longer exists: Orden HAC/1526/2024 abolished it from 3 February 2025.
- Register with the Seguridad Social in the special scheme for self-employed workers (RETA). Since Royal Decree-Law 13/2022, contributions follow brackets of net returns, and the Seguridad Social publishes the 2026 tables.
- Settle the IVA position with your adviser. OnlyFans' Terms of Service say creators registered in an EU country must follow the EU VAT rules that apply, and how those rules treat a sale to a platform based outside Spain depends on where the service is taxed.
- Declare the income in your annual IRPF return and agree with your gestor how to handle advance payments during the year.
- Assume the platform reports. OnlyFans says it may be legally required to share information about your earnings with local tax authorities.
- Keep agency invoices, platform statements and bank records together, so your adviser can match each payout to the commission you paid on it.

Checking a Spanish agency: Registro Mercantil, BORME and VIES
| What to verify first | Spanish source | What you learn |
|---|---|---|
| The company and who runs it | Registradores (Registro Mercantil) | Certificates of a company's validity and current officers, the list of companies where a person holds office, and the company statutes. |
| Recent corporate acts | BORME | The official bulletin of the commercial register publishes the legal and economic data of registered companies, such as incorporations and appointments. |
| An EU VAT number on invoices | VIES | Whether the business is registered to trade across borders inside the EU. |
| Any licence | SEPE | Placement agencies file a declaración responsable under article 43 of the Employment Act (Ley 3/2023), but that regime is about finding jobs for job seekers. No licence specific to creator management appeared in the Spanish sources reviewed. |
| The terms themselves | The draft contract | The fee and what it is calculated on, who holds your logins and payout details, notice to leave, and what happens to content after you go. |
A foreign agency will not appear in the Spanish register at all, which is not a warning sign by itself; ask for its home-country registration instead and check that the same legal name is on the contract. The guide to what to look for in an agency contract goes clause by clause.
Leaks and intimate images: the AEPD's priority channel
Spain has a dedicated fast route for removals. Through the AEPD's Canal prioritario, you can ask for the immediate removal of photos, videos or audio of a sexual or violent nature whose unlawful spread puts people's rights or health at serious risk. Its FAQ reserves it for exceptionally delicate cases involving people who are Spanish or in Spain, and lets either the person affected or anyone who knows of the content make the report.
Criminal law backs this up. Article 197.7 of the Código Penal punishes spreading images or recordings, obtained with the person's consent in a private setting, without their authorisation, with prison of three months to one year or a fine of six to twelve months, where the disclosure seriously harms their privacy. Copies of content you sold behind a paywall are usually handled as a copyright problem as well: read whether leaking creator content is illegal and how to remove leaked content from Google.
Getting OnlyFans payouts into a Spanish bank
OnlyFans keeps your money in US dollars: the current balance is the exact USD amount it sends, and any euro conversion fee comes from your bank or e-wallet (OnlyFans help). Fan payments are split 80% to the creator and 20% to OnlyFans (OnlyFans). New earnings wait in a pending balance for 7 days for most creators (OnlyFans), most payout methods have a $20 minimum (OnlyFans), and requests usually clear in 3 to 5 business days (OnlyFans).
Which payout methods appear depends on your country, shown in the Add Bank section of your account (OnlyFans). Compare the exchange margin your Spanish bank applies with other options before you set up automatic withdrawals, and keep the payout account in your own name: OnlyFans' terms make you legally responsible for the account even if an agency helps run it.
Spanish hours, US fans and filming permits in Madrid and Barcelona
Peninsular Spain moves to summer time on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October, and the Canary Islands run one hour behind (Real Observatorio de la Armada). The US changes its clocks on different Sundays (NIST), so for roughly three weeks in March and one week at the turn of October and November the gap is an hour shorter.
| Evening hour in the US | Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia | Canary Islands |
|---|---|---|
| 8 pm New York, most of the year | 2 am | 1 am |
| 8 pm Los Angeles, most of the year | 5 am | 4 am |
| 8 pm New York in the March and October gap weeks | 1 am | 12 am (midnight) |
Those are sleeping hours, which is why scheduling and chat coverage matter more for Spain-based creators than for most. Shooting outdoors has its own rules:
- Madrid: small crews of up to 15 people with a camera and tripod, no electrical equipment and no blocking of traffic, file a simple notice before the shoot, and the registered document serves as the permit; bigger shoots need an occupation permit filed at least 7 working days ahead, with a fixed fee of 48.65 euros plus 0.58 euros per linear metre per day (Madrid Film Office).
- Barcelona: any filming or photo session that occupies a street or square needs a permit; the basic authorisation covers up to 10 people with one camera and one tripod between 8:00 and 22:00, must be requested by the day before, and larger crews need a licence with a fee of 89.80 euros (Barcelona Film Commission). Parks, beaches and the seafront are handled separately.
Where SirenCY fits for creators in Spain
SirenCY is a creator management agency based in Melbourne, Australia, which sits between eight and ten hours ahead of Madrid depending on the season, because both countries move their clocks on different dates (Australian daylight saving; Spanish summer time). Ask SirenCY, as you would any agency, who covers your fans' hours and in which languages. SirenCY's agency fee is 35%; its other terms are set out in each creator's written proposal or agreement.

What Creators in Spain Should Look For
The agency-vetting criteria for creators in Spain are the same as for creators anywhere. Service quality, contract flexibility, and transparent commission matter far more than physical office location.
For a broader vetting framework, see the OnlyFans agency buyer's guide. Apply the same documented criteria to every provider.
Creators in Spain should also verify time-zone coverage for chatter operations, payment routing compatibility (currency and banking), and language support if operating in non-English audience markets.
