Why Do European Hotels Require Passports at Check-in?
by Amy FarleyThere’s
a long tradition throughout Europe of statutes requiring hotels to collect
information on guests—including name, nationality, and ID number—enabling law
enforcement to cross-check for wanted individuals, criminals, or missing
persons. The European Union has since made such data collection a requirement
for hotels in member states. Most of this information is simply stored to be
made available to authorities upon request, though in certain areas (notably
Italy), it is regularly collected. In the past, some hotels would hold guests’
passports for hours or even overnight to manually complete the registration
process. Today, you usually just have to show it at check-in.
