Passports are documents for Chinese citizens to prove their nationality and identity when they enter or leave the country and abroad. If the staff of the hotel industry fails to register the names, types and numbers of identity documents of the staying passengers as required, or fails to stop them knowing that the staying passengers bring dangerous substances into the hotel, they will be fined from 2 yuan to 5 yuan.
