Do I have to swipe my ID card to stay in a hotel?

Of course, you have to swipe your ID card when staying in a hotel, and you can swipe your passport without an ID card.

Hotel registration rules:

1. If you stay in a large foreign-related hotel or hotel, you can register with your passport. Non-foreign hotels are not acceptable.

2. Passports held by China citizens, the information on which is basically the same as that on the ID card. Since the e-passport was launched in September, 20 14, the ID card readers of large hotels have also been upgraded synchronously, which can read e-passport information. In addition, you can also manually enter the passport number for identification.

For example, when foreign tourists come to China, they all enter our country with passports. If foreign-related hotels can't log in with passports, then foreign tourists can only sleep on the streets.

4. According to the "Measures for the Administration of Public Security in Hotel Industry", passengers should register with valid identity documents when staying in hotels.
