Guest registration in the United States

In the US there is no federal or state platform for submitting guest data. However, most local ordinances (city codes and hotel/short-term rental rules) require operators to keep a guest register β€” name, address, dates of stay and ID β€” on file and available to police on request, typically retained from 90 days to two years or more depending on the jurisdiction.

Gotocheck helps you collect, digitize and keep that register in an orderly, secure way, and to export it whenever it's required. Rules vary by city (New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and others have specific short-term rental requirements), so check your local ordinance.
