The problem
Physical ID collection solves check-in, but creates a new security problem.
2
Copies made
Aadhaar, licence, or passport is handed over, copied, and kept near the front desk.
3
Control is lost
The guest cannot see who viewed it, who copied it, or whether it is still accessible.

Hotel asks
SetuID Business requests only the fields needed for check-in.
Guest chooses
The guest approves required fields and can accept or reject extra information.
QR is scanned
The digital ID moves only after consent through the SetuID QR flow.
Relay delivers
The relay carries encrypted data without seeing the Aadhaar details.
Hotel verifies
Staff verifies name, image, address, and masked Aadhaar on the terminal.
Access expires
The copy is removed from staff access after checkout; the owner keeps an audit record.
Behind the scenes
The technology is serious, but the experience stays simple.
Customer vault
Stores verified ID locally and builds consented payload.
Blind relay
Routes encrypted packet, waits for ACK, writes audit ledger.
Business terminal
Decrypts for verification, saves compliant register entry.
End-to-end encryptionCustomer payload is wrapped for the hotel terminal and enterprise owner.
Relay cannot read PIIIt routes encrypted blobs, ACKs delivery, and records audit events.
Masked Aadhaar by designStaff sees the required proof without reusable full UID exposure.
