Digital check-in using MAX's Digital ID is available in more than 800 hotels across 70 Russian regions.
The service allows guests to check in without paper passports.
The technology is part of the national project 'Tourism and Hospitality'.
The regions with the most hotels using Digital ID include Tatarstan, Pskov, Ulyanovsk, Kirov, Novgorod, Moscow, and St. Petersburg.
The service has received positive feedback from both business and tourists.
Further synchronization of information systems and staff training are priority tasks for the coming months.
Users must create a Digital ID in MAX by linking it to Gosuslugi for verification.
At check-in, guests open the Digital ID section in MAX, select their identity document, press 'Present', and show a QR code to hotel staff.
The QR code contains passport data that are automatically loaded into the hotel system upon scanning.
For identity confirmation, guests must also present a QR code with a photo, which can be obtained via Gosuslugi.
The service was launched in April of this year.

The service allows guests to avoid providing paper documents entirely. — vedomosti
