Guest Identification

Post by aasta »

Hello!
We are very new at being B&B keepers and attempting to get the ropes right!!

Do you ask guests to show identification when they check-in? Is this/what is required in Portugal. So far we have only been asking for their address? When I asked the lady at the Camara, while submitting the application for the habitacao lojamento (spelling?) license, she said that she did not know.
thanks, regards, aasta

Apparently there is no legal obligation to ask guests to show their ID. For security reasons only, I ask for ID when there was no previous pre-payment by bank transfer.
