In Italy, is it normal for an Airbnb host to ask for your passport?

Italy · Updated 2026-09 · From MeTravel's own trips

Yes. Under Italian law, hotels and Airbnb hosts must collect guests' passport details so the authorities can track arrivals for security reasons. Have your photo ID ready.

Note: If a host never asks for your passport details, be more cautious, as they may not be registered with the authorities.
