Can couples stay in hotels without ID cards?

Couples can't stay in hotels without ID cards.

Couples need to provide ID cards when staying in hotels. Hotels must register when they receive passengers. At the time of registration, the passenger's identity documents shall be checked and truthfully registered according to the prescribed items. To receive accommodation from overseas tourists, an accommodation registration form shall also be submitted to the local public security organ within 24 hours.

The specific process of ID card replacement is as follows:

1. Prepare relevant materials. Need to provide the original ID card, household registration book, birth certificate and other documents to prove identity and date of birth;

2. Go to the local police station or household registration management department to explain the situation to the staff and apply for a replacement;

3. The staff will check your ID card and household registration information and ask you to provide relevant supporting materials;

4. Fill in relevant application forms as required, and submit supporting materials and photos;

5. Pay relevant formalities;

6. Wait for the relevant departments to review the application and get a new ID card within the specified time.

To apply for a resident identity card, you need to provide the following information:

1. Original household registration book (original residence permit is required for handling in different places);

2. Registration form for applying for resident identity card or registration form for accepting resident identity card in different places.

To sum up, every bed in a regular hotel needs to register an ID card, and each hotel has different regulations on the number of people staying, so it should actually be registered by two people.
