For hotels, homestays & guesthouses in India
Aadhaar guest verification and a digital guest register — in one check-in.
Scan the guest’s Aadhaar QR. Kiauth checks UIDAI’s digital signature, adds the guest to your register, and prepares Form C for foreign guests. Works on any phone, tablet or laptop.
- Full Aadhaar number never stored
- Data stored in India
- Uses UIDAI’s official offline verification
Why hotels switch from the paper register
Inspections, without the scramble
Police and FRRO checks want a complete, legible guest register. Paper registers get skipped on busy nights, or lost.
Form C has a 24-hour clock
Every foreign guest needs a Form C within 24 hours of arrival. It’s easy to miss when it lives on a separate website.
Aadhaar photocopies are a liability
A drawer of Aadhaar photocopies is a privacy risk for your guests — and for you. You don’t need to keep them.
One check-in. Three jobs done.
Verify guests with Aadhaar
Scan the QR on the guest’s Aadhaar card or app. We check UIDAI’s digital signature in seconds — no photocopies, and the full Aadhaar number is never saved.
Form C for foreign guests
Capture passport and visa details once. Kiauth prepares the Form C record and flags every guest who is due before the 24-hour deadline.
Digital guest register
Every check-in is added to your guest register automatically. Search it, or download it for an inspection, any time.
How it works
- 1
Guest shows their Aadhaar
The QR on their Aadhaar card, the Aadhaar app on their phone, or a downloaded Aadhaar ZIP file.
- 2
You scan it
Use the camera on any phone or tablet. UIDAI’s signature is checked in seconds — even if the internet drops, the check-in is saved.
- 3
Your records are ready
The register entry, the Form C record for foreign guests, and a verification receipt are created for you.
Built for Indian hospitality
From a single front desk to a group of properties.
Hotels
Busy front desks, shift staff, and inspections.
Homestays
Check in guests from your phone — no desk needed.
Guesthouses & lodges
Replace the paper register without changing how you work.
Hotel groups
Many properties, one account, each property’s data kept separate.
Already on OYO, MakeMyTrip or your own PMS? Keep it. Kiauth handles verification and compliance, and adds the booking reference to every record.
Private by design
We never store, log, or share a full 12-digit Aadhaar number. Every guest record is encrypted, every access is logged, and all data is stored in India.
Common questions
What is Form C, and when does a hotel need to file it?
Form C is the report that hotels, guesthouses, homestays and other places of stay in India must send to the immigration authorities (the FRRO / Bureau of Immigration) for every foreign guest. It must be submitted within 24 hours of the guest's arrival.
Kiauth captures the passport and visa details at check-in, prepares the Form C record, and shows every foreign guest whose Form C is due or overdue on the Foreign guests page.
Does the guest have to share their Aadhaar number?
No. When you scan the Aadhaar QR or use the ZIP file, the guest's full 12-digit Aadhaar number is never shown to you or to Kiauth — the QR and file only carry the last 4 digits. You also don't need to keep a photocopy of the Aadhaar card, which is safer for the guest and for you.
Do I need any special hardware or an app to install?
No special hardware. Kiauth works in any browser — on a laptop, tablet, or phone at the front desk — and there is also a Kiauth app on Google Play for Android. Both use the same account and the same data, so use whichever suits your desk.
The phone or tablet camera is all you need to scan a guest's Aadhaar QR. Check-ins keep working when the internet drops and sync when you're back online.
Does Kiauth replace my PMS or booking system?
No — that is deliberate. Kiauth is the verification and compliance layer, not a full property-management or channel-management system. Keep booking on OYO/MMT and running on whatever software you like; Kiauth verifies the guest, keeps the statutory record, and hands the result back to your system.
How is Kiauth priced?
Kiauth is a subscription per property, paid monthly or yearly. Aadhaar verifications are included in your plan — there is no per-check charge for them, however many guests you check in. Checking other IDs (passport, driving licence, voter ID) uses prepaid credits.
