2. Member States may require that the information submitted pursuant to paragraph 1 is accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation. With regard to the information referred to in paragraph 1, point (a)(v), where the host declares that the unit is subject to authorisation, or where the other information referred to in paragraph 1 allows an automatic determination that an authorisation requirement applies, Member States may request a copy of, or a clear reference to, the authorisation.

Where a Member State requires hosts to submit further information and documentation, including information and documentation about compliance with the rules referred to in Article 2(2), point (a), the submission of that information and documentation is without prejudice to the issuance of the registration number, in accordance with Article 4(3), point (b). Where appropriate, Member States may also enable hosts to declare additional services that are ancillary to the short-term accommodation rental services.

4. Without prejudice to Article 6, where there is a material change in the situation substantiated by the information and documentation provided pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2, hosts shall update that information and documentation and Member States shall ensure that such update is done via the functionality referred to in Article 4(3), point (e).

5. Member States shall ensure that the information or documentation submitted pursuant to a registration procedure referred to in Article 4 is retained in a secure manner and only for a period which is necessary for the identification of the unit and for a maximum of 18 months after the host has indicated, via the functionality referred to in Article 4(3), point (g), that the unit should be removed from the registry. Member States shall ensure that the information and documentation provided by the host pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2 is only processed for the purpose of issuing the registration number and ensuring compliance with the applicable rules of the Member State concerning access to, and the provision of, short-term accommodation rental services.

6. Hosts shall be responsible for the accuracy of the information that they provide to the competent authorities pursuant to this Article, and of the information that they provide to online short-term rental platforms pursuant to Article 7 of this Regulation.
