Can I stay in a hotel if my ID card expires?

According to the enquiry of China Travel Service, you can't stay in the hotel if your ID card expires, but you can stay in other ways, as follows:

1. If your ID card expires, but you need to stay in the hotel, you can go to the police station designated by the hotel to apply for the check-in certificate, and you can go to the hotel with the check-in certificate.

2. If you have other valid documents, such as People's Republic of China (PRC) household registration book, temporary id card, driver's license, passport, seaman's card, Hong Kong and Macao pass, soldier's card, etc. , you can also use them to check in at the hotel.

It should be noted that the registration management system of each hotel may be different, especially for high-star hotels. It is recommended to contact the hotel to stay in advance to explain the problem and get confirmation, so as not to delay the trip.
