Do I need an ID card to open a room?

Legal analysis: You must use your own ID card, not someone else's. When handling the accommodation registration, you must show your ID card or other relevant documents, fill in the accommodation registration form and inform the departure date. Identity card registration mainly lies in the management of social security, and it is also a constraint on the legitimate operation of hotels.

Legal basis: Article 6 of the Measures for the Administration of Public Security in Hotel Industry stipulates that 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.
