Why identity verification

Built for hosts
Effortless for guests

Security that protects your business without slowing down the guest experience.

Stop fraud before it starts

Block fake IDs and unauthorized bookings before arrival. Reduce chargebacks, property damage risk, and liability.

Verified in under 10 seconds

Guests scan their ID and take a quick selfie from their phone. No lines, no paperwork, no front-desk delays.

Compliance on autopilot

Automatically meet KYC, local registration, and audit requirements — with a complete verification record for every stay.

Why Switch

Manual check-ins cost more than you think

Unverified guests increase risk. Manual processes slow operations.

Without Identity Verification

  • No reliable confirmation of who enters your property
  • Slow, manual ID checks at arrival
  • Exposure to fake bookings and chargebacks
  • Compliance gaps that can lead to fines
  • No audit trail when issues arise

How it works

Guest scans their ID

Guest scans passport, national ID, or driver’s license. Data is captured instantly with OCR.

Biometric match

A live selfie or short video is matched against the document photo in real time.

Verified instantly

Guest is approved, you’re notified, and access details can be sent automatically.

Security meets convenience

Two verification levels.
One seamless experience

Choose the right level of protection for each property. Chekin lets you pick between fast selfie matching and advanced liveness detection — tailored to your needs. Both complete under 10 seconds.

Upon successful verification and registration, guests receive a secure digital key via email. This key allows them to access their assigned apartment using smart locks, eliminating the need for physical key handovers.

FAQ

Identity Verification

How much does identity verification cost?

Identity verification is an add-on feature available on paid plans. Pricing is per verification — you only pay when a guest completes the process. It’s designed to pay for itself by preventing just one fraudulent booking.

Is the biometric data secure and GDPR compliant?

Yes. All biometric data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Chekin is fully GDPR-compliant, ISO certified, and ENISA-compliant. Data is retained only for the legally required period and then automatically deleted.

What happens if a verification fails?

If the biometric comparison doesn’t produce a confident match, the guest is prompted to retry. If it still fails, you’re notified and can choose to verify manually from your Chekin dashboard.

Which identity documents are supported?

Chekin supports passports, national identity cards, driving licences, and residence permits from over 150 countries. The OCR engine is trained on more than 2,500 document templates.

What is the difference between selfie and liveness verification?

Selfie match compares a single photo against the document photo — it’s the fastest method. Liveness detection adds a short video sequence with on-screen prompts, confirming a real person is present and blocking spoofing attempts.
