Guest Registration Form and Guest Register (Immigration Hotel Records)

About this document

What it’s for

Anyone who provides sleeping accommodation for reward – hotels, B&Bs, guest houses and holiday lets – must keep a record of guests aged 16 or over. Overseas guests must also give passport details and their next destination. Records must be kept for at least 12 months and made available to the police on request. This template gives you a compliant form and register.

When to use it

  • For every booking, on arrival or online before arrival
  • For all guests aged 16 or over in the party, not just the lead guest
  • When the police ask to inspect your records

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Collect the required details for each guest aged 16 and over
  • Store the records securely for 12 months, then delete them
  • Give guests the privacy information included in the form

Key points to check

  • Only collect passport details from guests who are not British, Irish or Commonwealth citizens
  • Do not keep copies of passports unless you have a clear need – a written record of the details is enough

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
