**The problem it solves** Short-term rental owners and small accommodation operators in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Croatia are legally required to collect guest identity data and transmit it to national police authorities within hours of check-in. Doing this by hand with paper forms is slow, error-prone, and exposes operators to fines. **What Check-in Scan does** Check-in Scan is a Mijas-based Spanish SaaS company, founded in 2017, that automates legal guest registration for vacation rentals, hotels, hostels, campsites, rural accommodation, and bed and breakfasts, having processed over 8 million check-ins for more than 9,000 customers. **How it works** Operators or guests scan the machine-readable zone of a national ID or passport with a smartphone camera, and the platform auto-fills the required fields, captures a digital signature, and transmits the traveller report to the relevant authority, including Spain's SES Hospedajes, Italy's Polizia di Stato, Portugal's authorities, and Croatia's system. Five check-in modes are available: self-check-in via QR code, a pre-check-in link, in-person check-in, web check-in without an app, and check-in via Spain's MiDNI app. Additional features include tourist-tax calculation, lease contract generation, a cloud traveller registry retained for three years, and a reservations calendar, with integrations to PMS software and smart locks. Subscription plans are tiered by property count, and a 14-day free trial requires no credit card. The platform is available in Spanish, English, Italian, and Portuguese. **Who it's for** Individual vacation rental owners and small-to-medium accommodation operators in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Croatia that must comply with national guest registration laws, plus hotel and hostel groups in those markets seeking automated compliance.
