Keycafe’s Photo ID Verification Simplifies Hosting in Italy
Keycafe’s new photo ID verification feature makes it easy for vacation rental hosts, bed and breakfast managers, and other lodging operators in Italy to collect guest information and identification. This feature allows Italian hosts to satisfy their country’s regulatory obligations, while providing additional peace of mind that they know who is staying in their property.
Italy’s Short-Term Rental Regulation
By law, anyone hosting foreign guests overnight in Italy must record and submit their guests’ information and images of the guests’ passports or national IDs to the Alloggiati Web accommodations portal at the time of check-in. If you’re interested in more information on Italy’s short-term rental regulations along with specific regulations for the cities of Milan and Rome, read our comprehensive article on Understanding Short-Term Rental Regulations in Italy.
Making Photo ID Verification and Collection Easy
Short-term rental hosts in Italy often struggle to collect and submit their guest’s information when hosting foreign guests overnight. Whether it’s the difficulty of properly collecting guest information or finding the right way to store images of guest passports, recording and submitting guest information can be quite the challenge. With Keycafe, hosts are able to remotely collect and verify multiple guests’ information within minutes, and to easily download images of guest photo IDs for submission to the appropriate authorities.
Know Who is Accessing Your Home Remotely
Part of why Keycafe’s photo ID verification is a great tool for Italian hosts is because hosts can collect this information remotely, no matter where they are in the world. This means that hosts don’t need to be present for guest check-in, while remaining compliant with national regulation. Keycafe’s photo ID verification also allows hosts to enable a required live-photo selfie that is cross-checked with their uploaded photo ID.
Thanks to Keycafe’s Photo ID Verification and live-photo check-in, Italian hosts don’t need to be present for guest check-in to collect and submit their information, and guests can easily submit their information using their mobile phone or through the web.
