Can I stay in a hotel with my passport?

Legal analysis: Passport is a legal document issued by a country to prove the nationality and identity of citizens when they enter and leave its territory and travel or stay abroad. You can register with your passport when staying in a foreign-related hotel, but you can't register with your passport in China. Staying in hotels in China is subject to inspection and monitoring by public security organs. You are from China. Stay in a hotel in China and show your ID card. Only overseas guests can check in with valid passports. Passport is an international proof of your China nationality, telling people abroad that you are a citizen of People's Republic of China (PRC), and all passports can't be used as identification in your country.

Legal basis: Article 13 of the Passport Law states that the passport issuing authority will not issue a passport if the applicant has one of the following circumstances: (1) He does not have China nationality; (two) unable to prove identity; (3) practicing fraud in the application process; (4) Being sentenced to a penalty and serving a sentence; (five) the people's court informed that there are unresolved civil cases that cannot leave the country; (6) Being a defendant or criminal suspect in a criminal case; (seven) the relevant competent departments of the State Council believe that leaving the country will cause harm to national security or cause great losses to national interests.
