Hotel stay rules changed: No need to submit an Aadhaar copy anymore; find out how verification will be done..

Booking a hotel often entails significant hassle. An identity proof is essential when checking into a hotel; typically, you are asked for a photocopy of your Aadhaar card—and sometimes a photograph—at the time of booking. However, hotel check-in rules are now changing. A digital system for room bookings is being implemented, allowing your identity to be verified digitally.

**Verification via QR Code and OTP**
The new verification system allows for digital methods to confirm a customer's identity, potentially utilizing QR codes and OTP-based apps. This system aims to simplify the identity verification process and reduce the need to submit physical photocopies of documents.

**Eliminating the Hassle of Aadhaar Photocopies**
Often, upon arriving at a hotel, you are asked for an Aadhaar photocopy, but you may lack both the copy and the means to get one made. To address this, digital verification is being promoted. The UIDAI is working to simplify identity verification and encourage the adoption of digital systems.

**Privacy Protection**
The digital check-in process also ensures privacy protection. It is expected to keep your personal information more secure while simultaneously making the hotel check-in process easier.
