Do hotels and hostels have the right to copy and scan customer ID cards?

Hotels have the right to register their identity cards (this is also a rule), which are usually registered manually. However, copying and scanning are not prohibited.

And now banks and housing authority generally need the original ID card and notarized power of attorney, and it is useless for him to simply copy it.
