Guest registration in the United Kingdom

Under the Immigration (Hotel Records) Order 1972, all accommodation must record guests aged 16 and over. For guests who are not British, Irish or Commonwealth nationals, you must also record their passport number and place of issue, and their next destination (with address, if known). Records must be kept for at least 12 months and made available to police on request.

There is no police API — it's local custody. Gotocheck helps you collect, digitize and keep that register, capture the extra fields required for foreign guests, and export it whenever it's required.

Works with your platforms

Connect your Airbnb, Booking and channel manager (Hospitable) properties and reservations. We import your listings automatically and send the check-in link to every guest.
