Guest registration compliance in Tyrol, Austria
What Tyrol hotels and short-term rentals are legally required to do for guests, and how Simple Guests handles it automatically.
What the law requires
Under Austria's Meldegesetz (§5, §10, §12), every paying overnight guest must be recorded in a Gästeverzeichnis, with the guest's signature confirming the details are accurate.
Unlike Spain's SES.HOSPEDAJES, there is no obligation to proactively submit this data to any government system. Tyrol properties keep the register and produce it to the Meldebehörde or police only if asked — Simple Guests generates a signed, retained record automatically for every check-in, so it's always ready.
How Simple Guests handles this
- Guests scan their ID and sign digitally during check-in — no paper Gästeblatt.
- Every record is retained for the full 7-year period automatically.
- If the Meldebehörde or police ever request records, they're already produced and ready.
