How can I stay in a hotel without an ID card?

I won't check into the hotel directly without an ID card.

Because there is a clear stipulation in the country, every citizen is required to provide his/her valid identity document when staying in a hotel. According to the Measures for the Administration of Public Security in Hotel Industry, the registered identity is linked to the public security organs throughout the country. While protecting customers' privacy, hotels are obliged to report suspicious persons and possible violations of laws and regulations to the public security organs, which is the basic duty of hotels. If you are hosting overseas tourists, you also need to submit an accommodation registration form to the local public security organ within 24 hours.

In addition to identity cards, the residence booklet of the People's Republic of China, passport, seaman's card, passport of the People's Republic of China to and from Hong Kong and Macao, and business passport to and from Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Region are all valid documents for hotel check-in.

I didn't bring it with me, and I don't need to worry, because there are some measures to help those Chinese mainland citizens who really need to check in without valid identity documents. They can declare their identity to the police station where they live, and the police station can print the information of the passenger in the national population information database, and affix the official seal to the passenger as the proof document for handling the flight formalities.

Extended data:

Resident identity card is a legal document used to prove the identity of the holder, which is mostly issued to citizens by governments of various countries or regions. And as an important identification document for everyone.

People's Republic of China (PRC)'s ID card is written as "ID card" before 1984. 1On April 6th, 984, the State Council issued the Regulations on the Trial Implementation of Resident Identity Cards of the People's Republic of China, and began to issue the first generation of resident identity cards. On March 29th, 2004, Chinese mainland officially began to renew the second-generation resident ID card with built-in contactless IC card smart chip. The surface of the second-generation ID card adopts anti-counterfeiting film and printing anti-counterfeiting technology, and personal color photos can be used to read the information in the digital chip by machine.
