What if I didn't bring my ID card when I checked into the hotel? What should I do if I forget my ID card and want to stay in a hotel?

1. If you are near the railway station, you can hold a temporary id card, show it at the front desk, and then you can check in.

2. If you have a driver's license or passport, you can also show it to the front desk, which is generally acceptable.

3. If you have an electronic ID on your mobile phone Alipay, you can also show it to the front desk, which is also recognized by some hotels.

4. You can also book a hotel on Taobao, or find someone else to book it, because some don't need an ID card, and some don't need it because they are senior members, so if it is convenient and cheap, senior members can generally get one. However, it is necessary to explain the situation to the staff and police security personnel.

5. Interpersonal relationship is also a way. If a friend is with you, you can ask your friend to make a reservation, and then you can check in. If you have a good relationship, you can directly ask the receptionist to book it for you with your ID card. But it is necessary to explain the situation to the police and staff in advance.

6. On the premise that you are trustworthy and have no illegal acts, you need the help of the police, and carefully select some who are not very formal and do not need ID cards, but need to explain the situation to the police. For example, some apartments, some youth hostels and some hotels near the railway station are not needed.
