Answer

Can a holiday rental in Mallorca be legal if the paperwork is still being processed?

Yes, that can happen. In Mallorca, some listings may be waiting for administrative approval even though the owner has already submitted the required documents. A missing number on a listing does not always mean a property is operating illegally, which is why the process can be misleading at first glance.
