Documents required for hotel check-in in India (2026 guide)
Indian guests need one valid government photo ID — Aadhaar card, passport, driving licence, voter ID or PAN card. Foreign nationals must present a passport with a valid visa, and the hotel is legally required to file Form C with the local FRRO within 24 hours of check-in. Children under 18 sharing a parent's room do not need separate ID. Some states require local police intimation for all guests.
This is a practical guide for travellers and hotel front-desk teams covering the identity documents needed at check-in across India, including rules for domestic guests, foreign nationals, digital verification options, and common state-level variations.
