Module 1
Filling of Guest Registration Card
Guest Registration, as the word itself is saying, To register the guest, To record the details of guest at the time of check in. This record is done on Guest Registration Card.
Taking registration of a guest at the time of check in is mandatory for both  the guest as well as hotel. During registration, the guest is required to enter important information on the Guest Registration Card such as guest name, contact number, address, Date of arrival, Time of arrival, Date of departure, Time of departure, purpose of stay at the hotel, and passport and visa details in case of foreign guest. It is the duty of the front office staff not to disclose the guest details to anyone.
Pre-registration Procedure
The GRC is printed one day prior to guest arrival, and then the partially filled GRC is arranged in pigeon holes in alphabetical order. Once a guest arrives, the respective slot has to be looked for to find the guest GRC form.
 
At the time of Guest Arrival
As the guest name is already filled on partial GRC form, and the GRC?s are arranged in alphabetical order, the only task of the person taking a check-in is to, ask for the guest name. For ex. If the guest name is Mr. John Smith. The GRA has to go to pigeon hole "J" and ask for a genuine ID proof.

Verifying Guest's Identity
Since terror attacks on 9/11, the hotels are mandatorily verifying guests' identities. The staff verifies guest's identity first by politely asking the guest's name. The staff member then requests to show a photo ID such as driving license or a valid identity card from a well-known organization where the guest is working. If the guests are from a foreign country, the staff requests them to show passport. The staff member is authorized to ask any verifying questions politely.

The true copies of the passport or ID card are made to verify the guest's identity and to prepare guest record.
Creating Registration Record
