Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about IDGuru's hotel ID and passport scanning system and how it automates guest registration.

What is IDGuru?

IDGuru is a hotel ID and passport scanning solution that automates guest registration by scanning travel documents such as driver's licenses, state IDs, and passports. It reads guest data in under 5 seconds, auto-fills hotel PMS fields, and maintains a Do Not Rent (DNR) database to prevent check-in of blacklisted guests. IDGuru is part of the INNGuru Suite of hospitality technology products.

What makes IDGuru different from other hotel ID scanners?

IDGuru is built on a 100% in-house, self-developed ID scanning algorithm — unlike many competitors that rely on third-party scanning technology. This gives us full control over accuracy, speed, and reliability.

IDGuru can read virtually any form of identification worldwide — including plastic IDs, digital IDs displayed on mobile screens, paper-based IDs, email confirmations, and even damaged or partially worn documents.

IDGuru also offers a private Do Not Rent (DNR) network exclusively between your own properties. Unlike public DNR databases, your guest data remains entirely within your control — never shared outside your hotel group.

How does IDGuru's 5-second check-in work?

IDGuru works in three steps: (1) Scan the guest's ID or passport using the IDGuru scanner hardware. (2) The AI reads and validates guest details against the DNR database. (3) Guest information is automatically written into your hotel PMS registration form with 100% accuracy. The entire process takes approximately 5 seconds.

Which hotel PMS systems does IDGuru integrate with?

IDGuru integrates with over 35 property management systems including SynXis Property Hub (Wyndham), IHG HotelKey, Choice Advantage, Opera PMS/Opera Cloud, Visual Matrix, AutoClerk, Mews, Cloudbeds, Jonas Chorum, SkyTouch, WebRezPro, innRoad, OYO, Red Roof, Magnuson PMS, Check-Inn by Innsoft, and many more. IDGuru is designed to work with any Windows-based or web-based PMS.

How much does IDGuru cost?

IDGuru starts at $399 which includes the scanner hardware, software core license, professional installation, staff training, and the first year of technical support. A limited-time leasing option is available for qualified buyers. Contact our sales team at +1 (866) 767-2771 for full pricing details.

What is IDGuru Circle and Do Not Rent (DNR) tracking?

IDGuru Circle enables hotel management groups or properties under the same ownership to create a private Do Not Rent (DNR) database. When a guest is flagged at one property, all properties in the Circle are instantly notified during check-in. This prevents blacklisted guests from checking in at sister properties and enhances safety across the entire hotel group.

How does IDGuru help prevent chargebacks?

IDGuru captures a date and time-stamped record of every guest check-in along with a copy of the guest's ID, providing irrefutable proof of physical presence at the property.

When a chargeback occurs, IDGuru offers single-click chargeback evidence generation — allowing you to instantly compile and attach the signed registration card, a scanned copy of the guest's ID, authorization forms, room damage photos, and any other supporting documents into one comprehensive evidence package.

Is IDGuru compliant with data privacy regulations?

Yes. IDGuru holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and PCI DSS Type 1 certifications and is fully compliant with GDPR and CCPA regulations. All guest PII data is protected with AES-256 encryption and stored locally on the hotel's own system, giving hotels complete control over guest information.
