KYC norms for the Guest checking in a Hotel/Resort

This query is : Resolved 

05 February 2022 Is there any circular issued by any statutory body of India, where the Identity (KYC) documents list is provided for the guest checking in a Hotel/Resort??

05 February 2022 Here’s why that happens.

If you’re of a certain age, you may remember a time when hotels in the U.S. didn’t ask for your driver’s license, passport or other government-issued I.D. when you arrived at your overnight home away from home.

Like so many other things, 9/11 changed that. So has technology. The things some people (try to) do in present-day times, as opposed to a couple of decades ago, has had a hand in these alterations, too.

Hotels in other countries have been requesting I.D. as standard practice for a long time, each for their own reason (although it’s usually based on security). But in the post-9/11 years, just about all U.S. hotels joined the rest of the world and started requiring hotel guests to show I.D. when they check in to a hotel (there are actually no federal laws and very few state/city/county laws that say this must be done; it’s just policy, in the name of taking precautions).

07 February 2022 Getting these KYC documents does not makes any sense to me as nobody is bothered to verify the authenticity of these documents online and match the details. Same for New SIM Card purchases, or anywhere else for the matter. We can makes thousand of such fake documents which will look like originals but they are NOT.

The security is always compromised untill these are verified and matched
