Secure document storage

Encrypted data · Inspection-ready

Every guest record and scanned document is stored encrypted and kept for 7 years, fully compliant with the GDPR. Your data lives in one secure place — never scattered across chats, inboxes or paper folders.

Optional · Identity verification

Verify the guest is who they claim to be.

Identity verification adds a tamper-proof second layer: Chekin reads the document's MRZ and automatically cross-checks it against the OCR data — if they don't match, the check fails. It then confirms the guest with a biometric selfie and liveness check, across 150+ countries and 2,500+ document templates.

Handling guest data right is not optional in Belgium.

Every accommodation processes personal guest data, which means the GDPR applies in full. Mishandled data and identity fraud expose hosts to heavy penalties and chargebacks. Chekin keeps your data secure, compliant and inspection-ready — and adds optional identity checks to keep fraud out.
