Scan a guest's ID in seconds
Best Guest Scanner reads passports and ID cards right on your phone — no manual typing, and no dependency on which booking system you use.
No more typing in passport details by hand
Copying a name, date of birth, and document number from a passport is slow and error-prone. Scanner does it for you, on the spot, while the guest checks in.
How it works
Open the app, point the camera at the document, and wait for confirmation. The app reads the machine-readable zone (MRZ), validates the check digits, and pre-fills a form — you just confirm the details are correct.
Your data stays on your device
Text recognition runs entirely on-device using open technology. The document photo is never uploaded or saved unless you explicitly enable that in settings.
Everything you need to check in a guest on the spot
A standalone app for hosts and property managers — no matter which system you're already running.
Scan without an internet connection
Capture a guest's passport or ID with your phone. All text recognition runs on-device — the photo is never uploaded or stored unless you turn that on yourself.
Instantly filled-in form
Name, date of birth, nationality, and document number are pulled automatically from the document's machine-readable zone (MRZ), with check-digit validation.
Ready for compliance reporting
Saved records can be linked to a reservation at any time and included in UbyPort reports or your guest registration book.
Works alongside any system
Scanner runs standalone — it doesn't matter which booking system or channel manager you're already using.
