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.

What Chekin does

Everything you need to capture and protect guest data.

From a compliant online check-in with OCR to encrypted, GDPR-compliant storage — one system of record for every stay.

Online check-in built for compliance

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

OCR document scanning

The passport or ID is read by OCR and the guest data is auto-filled in seconds — fast, accurate and free of manual typos.

GDPR-compliant secure storage

Guest data is stored encrypted and handled to GDPR standards by default — no loose spreadsheets, no data sitting in chat apps.

7-year data retention

Records are kept for 7 years — the recommended retention period for document storage — encrypted and ready whenever you need them.

Identity verification (optional)

Add a biometric match with selfie or liveness detection to stop impersonation and fraudulent bookings before check-in is complete.

Digital archive for inspections

Every guest record is stored, time-stamped and exportable. If an inspection comes, everything is one click away in your dashboard.

How it works

From check-in to secure storage, with no manual steps.

The same flow runs for every guest — capture the data once, store it securely, and keep it inspection-ready.

Before arrival, the guest fills in the form and scans their passport or ID straight from their phone.

Chekin reads the document with OCR, auto-fills the guest data and validates it on the spot — no typing, no errors.

3

Data stored securely

You see everything, inspection-ready

Handling guest data badly is the real risk.

The Netherlands has no central guest-registration portal — but you still collect personal data, and that data must be protected. Loose storage and weak identity checks expose you to GDPR breaches and fraud. Chekin makes the secure path the easy one.
