Why do you have to have your fingerprints printed when staying in a hotel in Yiwu?

This won’t happen if you stay in a hotel. If it does happen, you cannot press your fingerprints and call the police.

Articles 490 and 493 of the Civil Code stipulate that fingerprints on a contract have the same legal effect as signatures and seals.

In private economic and social life, many things must be done seriously. In addition to signing and sealing, the parties are required to put their fingerprints on many occasions. For example, in today's real estate transactions, the parties are required to fingerprint their names, transaction amounts, liquidated damages and other core terms; as for the marriage terms agreed upon by both men and women, and the family property division contract, the parties are even more required to sign and press.
