The guest sends the registration attributes from their wallet before they arrive. You get name, date of birth and nationality signed by the issuing state, file the statutory record, and release the room key. The desk becomes optional.
Most European jurisdictions make hotels register guest identity on arrival, which in practice means photocopying a passport at the front desk. It queues people at the busiest hour, it blocks mobile check-in, and it makes a hotel the custodian of travel documents it is not equipped to protect.
Step 01
Your pre-stay email or app links straight into the flow, so registration finishes before the guest reaches the property.
Step 02
Usually name, date of birth and nationality. We request only what your jurisdiction requires.
Step 03
A verified result unlocks the mobile key and files a signed registration record.
Rules in play
National guest registration statutes, GDPR, eIDAS 2.0

We built Northstay, a company that does not exist, to show this running inside a finished product. The wallet flow in it is the real SDK.
