How many years will the room opening records be kept?

The public security bureau will keep records of hotel room bookings made with ID cards for at least three years. However, there is no law explicitly stipulating the retention period for hotel room booking records, and the Ministry of Public Security has no unified regulations.

The public security bureau will keep records of hotel room bookings made with ID cards for at least three years. However, there is no law explicitly stipulating the retention period for hotel room booking records, and the Ministry of Public Security has no unified regulations. There are two main types of hotel room registration: one is the relatively backward paper registration. It is generally believed that paper hotel registration records are required to be kept for 3 years to prepare for inquiries at any time. From the perspective of financial management, paper is used as a business voucher , should be retained for 15 years, but in fact, the hotels and inns that are not registered online are now very small-scale, and few have sound financial systems and professional accounting. The other is online registration, which is more common in cities. Hotel booking records connected to the public security bureau can basically be retained permanently from a technical point of view as long as the system memory is large enough.

Can I check the room booking records?

Yes, you can check it at the hotel where you have lived. According to hotel management regulations, guest information must be retained for 90 days for hotels below 3 stars, for at least 1 year for 4-star hotels, and for more than 3 years for five-star hotels.

When a regular hotel is open, guest check-in information must be transmitted to the Public Security Bureau before 10 o'clock the next day. The recorded information is ID card information and arrival and departure times. Within the validity period of the data, the hotel can definitely check the passenger registration letter. However, due to privacy protection, irrelevant personnel cannot find it when they go to the hotel. The hotel computer now has a level 3 password.

Secondly, you can go to the police station to check. Now every police station will be connected to the hotel's computer, and various room booking records of hotel customers will be saved in the public security system.

Records are personal privacy and cannot be obtained without legal procedures and channels. Furthermore, if unsealed records are examined through improper channels, then not only the source of the evidence is illegal. Because only people with authority within the public security department can access the room opening records, this is personal privacy. Once reported, the public security personnel involved will be held accountable. If it causes adverse consequences (such as room opening records being made public on the Internet, etc.), it is an invasion of privacy, and the other party can sue for infringement.
