Legal compliance in Dubai

Two requirements, one fully automated flow.

Every licensed holiday home in Dubai must register guest stays with the DET Holiday Homes portal, and a valid ID document must be uploaded for every guest. Chekin handles both at online check-in, for you.
DET

Police registration (DET Holiday Homes)

For every guest · Every licensed home

Mandatory submission of guest data, stay information and property details — with the required identity document — through the DET Holiday Homes portal. It applies to every guest in every licensed holiday home, with no exceptions.

  • Applies to every guest, national and international
  • Guest data, stay dates and property details submitted
  • Submitted with DET automatically, no manual work

Mandatory identity verification

Passport / Emirates ID · Every guest

Because a valid passport or Emirates ID must be uploaded for every stay, identity verification is required for all guests. Chekin reads the document, checks it is authentic and verifies the guest's identity before the registration is submitted.

  • Passport for international guests, Emirates ID for residents
  • Document read and verified automatically
  • Required for every guest, with no exceptions

Required · Identity

In Dubai, identity verification is required, not optional.

Every guest's identity must be verified before their stay is registered. Chekin reads the passport or Emirates ID via OCR, checks the document is authentic, and runs a biometric and liveness check — so the mandatory ID upload is genuine, every time.

What Chekin automates

Everything you need to register guests correctly in Dubai.

From collecting the guest's data and ID document to submitting it automatically with the DET Holiday Homes portal — no manual steps in between.

Online check-in built for compliance

An adaptive form that captures the document, full name, nationality, date of birth and stay dates — all validated before submission.

Automated DET registration

Each stay is filed with the DET Holiday Homes portal the moment a guest completes check-in. One integration covers every property.

Mandatory ID document upload

A valid passport or Emirates ID is captured for every guest, read automatically and attached to the registration — exactly as DET requires.

Identity verification for every guest

Each document is checked for authenticity and matched to the guest with a biometric and liveness check, before the stay is registered.

One integration covers every property

Connect once and Chekin handles registration across your whole portfolio of holiday homes, with consistent data on every stay.

Records ready for inspection

Every registration is stored, time-stamped and exportable, complete and accurate, ready for any inspection by the authorities.

How it works

From check-in to registration, with no manual steps.

The same flow runs for every guest — data captured, identity verified, and the stay submitted with DET automatically.
1

The guest registers and verifies

The guest fills in the registration form, uploads their passport or Emirates ID, and verifies their identity before submitting.

2

We capture data and ID document

Chekin reads the document, validates the guest data, stay dates and property details, and attaches the ID exactly as DET requires.

3

We submit with DET

The registration is filed automatically with the DET Holiday Homes portal, with the verified identity — and no work from the host.

4

You see the status, not the work

Every registration is archived and kept for inspections. You see the status of each stay in your dashboard, with alerts if anything needs attention.

Required fields

We collect exactly what DET requires — nothing more.

The check-in form asks only for the data the DET Holiday Homes portal requires, validates it on the spot, captures the mandatory ID document, and delivers it to the authorities in the format they expect. Easy for you, quick for your guests.
