Hosts must keep separate registers for Indian and foreign guests in addition to filing Form C (Airbnb help). Local police or state tourism rules may ask for more; check with your local station or tourism office.
Paper or digital?
Many properties still keep a bound register book. A digital register is easier to search when the police or a tourism officer asks, can't be lost or damaged, and keeps the ID photo with the record. InnRow keeps every check-in as a record you can export to Excel. See guest check-in.
Free format
Use our guest register format if you keep paper.

Can I keep the guest register on my phone?
