What are the requirements for opening a hotel room now?

You must show your ID card to enter the hotel, otherwise the hotel has the right to refuse check-in.

The ID card here refers to the People's Republic of China resident ID card, temporary ID card, soldier ID card, police officer ID card, etc. Some hotels also recognize motor vehicle driving licenses, but whether the motor vehicle driving license can be used as a valid certificate for hotel stay depends on whether the hotel allows it and whether the local public security agency has relevant management regulations.

In addition, when checking into a hotel, be careful not to bring flammable, explosive, toxic, corrosive, or radioactive dangerous goods into the hotel. You are not allowed to engage in illegal and criminal activities such as prostitution, whoring, gambling, drug abuse, or dissemination of obscene materials.

House opening information is confidential:

Only a few investigation departments within the public security agency have the authority to query personal information citywide. The public security departments of various districts and counties can only conduct inquiries within their jurisdiction if they participate in handling cases, and have no authority outside the districts and counties.

“Except for cases involving related crimes, ordinary police have no right to inquire about personal communication records, room opening information, residential addresses, etc.” Wang, a grassroots police officer in Tianjin, said that if you want to retrieve the hotel’s surveillance video, you need to go through Strict registration and approval.
