Can two people stay in a hotel with one ID card?

According to Article 56 of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Public Security Administration Punishment Law, knowing that two people have only one ID card, they can't stay in a hotel. Whether domestic tourists or foreigners are staying in the hotel, they must show their valid identity documents for real-name registration. This is to ensure the authenticity of passengers' identity, and also to maintain social order and public safety.

When two people stay in a hotel together, they must provide their respective ID cards or other valid documents for registration. If only one person provides an ID card, the hotel may refuse to accept it or be punished by the relevant departments. In order to stay in the hotel smoothly and ensure their rights and interests, it is recommended that both of them prepare valid identity documents.
