Can I stay in a hotel after my ID card expires?

Legal analysis: you can't stay in a hotel if your ID card expires. The expired ID card is invalid, so you can't check into the hotel directly. But you can go to the nearest police station for a temporary certificate. In daily life, there are indeed some cases where ID cards are lost, expired or forgotten, so you need to go to the police station in the area where the hotel is located to open an identity certificate first. The public security organ shall inspect the hotels and restaurants within its jurisdiction from time to time, and if it finds that there is no information about registered guests and visitors, it will impose a fine on the front desk registrant and the hotel; If the registrant uses a fake ID card or someone else's ID card to register, the police will take the registrant into administrative detention.

Legal basis: Article 11 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Resident Identity Cards. If the state decides to issue a new generation of resident identity cards, the validity period of the resident identity cards expires, the citizens' names change, or the documents are seriously damaged and illegible, citizens should reissue them. If there are errors in the registration of resident identity cards, the public security organ shall promptly correct them and issue a new card; When you get a new card, you must return the original card. If a resident identity card is lost, it shall apply for a replacement. Citizens under the age of 16 may apply for renewal, renewal or replacement of their resident identity cards under any of the circumstances listed in the preceding paragraph. When a citizen goes through the formalities of permanent residence transfer, the public security organ shall record the change of the address of the permanent residence of the citizen in the machine-readable item of the resident ID card and inform it.
