How long is the hotel check-in record kept?

Hotel check-in records should be kept permanently.

Hotels of different grades have hotel accommodation registration records. There are two ways to keep the room book: small and medium-sized hotels keep the room book for 5 to 15 days, and high-end hotels keep the room book for half a year. However, the law does not stipulate the retention period of hotel opening records, and the Ministry of Public Security has no unified regulations.

There are two main types of hotel room registration: one is relatively backward paper registration. It is generally believed that paper hotel registration records need to be kept for 3 years for reference. From the perspective of financial management, paper should be kept for 15 years as a business voucher, but in fact, hotels and guesthouses without networking are very small, and there are few sound financial systems and professional accounting. The other is online registration, which is more common in cities. As long as the system memory is large enough, it can basically be saved permanently from a technical point of view.

The public security organ has the right to obtain the records of citizens' opening houses at any time. The public security organ has the power of investigation, which means that when investigating criminal cases and other cases, the public security organ can only obtain the records of citizens' opening houses by looking for clues of criminal suspects. If the public security does not handle the case, it is not allowed to collect personal information such as citizens' opening houses anytime and anywhere.

In the following cases, you can view personal check-in records:

1. The police can check the check-in records. Because all hotels now adopt a brand-new internet registration mode, the personal information of consumers and your overall personal information will be transmitted to the public security system for backup at the moment when consumers check into the hotel.

2. You can find the records when you check in the hotel, but only the public security department can find them, and ordinary people can't find them. Ordinary citizens can find records when they check in at the hotel through their ID cards, but only the public security department can find them, but ordinary people can't. Ordinary citizens can't check hotel registration records through their ID cards. Ordinary citizens have no right to inquire. Even public security personnel have no right to inquire casually;

3, only the need of investigation or investigation, investigators can ask according to legal procedures, and strictly confidential. Hotel check-in records, also known as "check-in records", belong to the category of personal privacy, and can only be inquired and retrieved through judicial procedures.

To sum up, the internal staff of the public security system cannot be deleted, and they have no right to modify it. Under normal circumstances, the police have no right to inquire about citizens' personal opening records at will. Only when the immediate family members report that their family members are lost or citizens are suspected of committing crimes, will the police inquire about their room opening records to determine their whereabouts. As for deleting the record of opening a house, it is unlikely that this kind of operation will occur in the actual police work at present, and it will go through complicated application and approval procedures, and ordinary policemen of public security organs below the municipal level have no authority to delete it.
