How long is the hotel check-in information generally kept?

Hotel accommodation registration ID card information will generally be kept for three to six months. This is a rule made by the state. Generally, hotel staff just brush the guest's ID card, check whether the guest's identity is consistent, and issue a simple receipt to the guest, without registering this person's home address. In addition, the guest information registered in some hotels will be networked with the public security database in real time, and there is another case where the data will be uploaded to the public security system database regularly every day for comparison. How long the local storage is kept depends on the hard disk size of the registered computer and the hotel occupancy rate, usually two years.

Hotels of different grades have hotel accommodation registration records. Small and medium-sized hotels are reserved for 5 to 15 days, and high-end hotels are reserved for half a year.

How long the check-in information will be kept depends on the specific size of the hotel. Because generally speaking, all the check-in information will be stored in the hotel's PMs system and uploaded directly to the public security system after entering this system. We don't have to worry about the preservation time of the public security system, because it is almost permanent. Only in this way can it be convenient for the public security to investigate cases in the future.

Generally speaking, when a regular hotel checks in, customers are required to hold their ID cards for face-brushing authentication of the public security network, and the check-in information of consumers will be immediately filed in the public security system network. As long as the server is large enough, this information can be permanently stored in the public security system.

The public security bureau generally requires hotels to keep them for 30 days. If the hotel is less than 30 days, the public security bureau can directly punish it, and some hotels can detain it for more than 30 days.

However, this record is very confidential. Only when a large criminal case occurs will the public security organ investigate it according to the process and legal basis. When common civil disputes, marital infidelity and other common events occur, it is impossible to ask the hotel to issue a room opening record. If you want to find evidence in a dispute, it may not be possible to ask the hotel directly, and you need to go through the formal process.
