Would you stay at a hotel if they required you to upload a picture of your driver's license and a photo of yourself as part of the check in?

@artcollisions I mean… when traveling in foreign lands, and mos def in Japan last month, every hotel made a copy of my passport. But also, just about every government on earth is less menacing than our own these days. So

@elfkin yeah but that’s a paper copy, right?
-
@artcollisions The receptionist at the hotel took our docs into a back office to do whatever. For all I know, they were making custom dart boards out of them.

@elfkin @artcollisions in Italy by law they have to write down your name and document number, check that it's actually you¹ and provide it to the police and that's it. no storing the data, no collecting more than that, etc. etc.
9 times out of 9 they will either take the ID to a back office, possibly asking you to go to your room and then get them back when you want to leave the room / hotel, or take a picture of it to get the data later, or both.
(doing checkin not in person is more complicated, since they are supposed to also see the ID and check that it belongs to you, so they will indeed ask you to upload them. then they are not supposed to store any of it, but I'm sure most of them can't be trusted not to)
¹ yeah.
