Can a 16-year-old couple open a hotel?

Legal analysis: Yes. According to regulations, each passenger must present a valid ID for real-name registration before checking into the hotel. Teenagers over 16 years old already have ID cards and can check in by showing their ID cards. Teenagers under the age of 16 can stay with adults, and the adults living together must show their ID cards. Children under 16 years old do not need to register, but must stay with a registered adult. If teenagers aged 16 and above have not yet applied for an ID card, they can register by showing their household registration booklet.

Legal basis: "Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China" Article 56 If hotel staff fail to register the name, identity document type and number of accommodation passengers as required, they shall be punished. Or if a guest knowingly brings dangerous substances into the hotel and fails to stop them, a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 500 yuan will be imposed. If a staff member of the hotel industry knowingly knows that the guest staying is a criminal suspect or a person wanted by the public security organ and fails to report it to the public security organ, he shall be fined not less than 200 yuan but not more than 500 yuan; if the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for not more than 5 days, and may be fined concurrently. A fine of less than 500 yuan is imposed.
