What is guest screening technology?

Guest screening technology checks who is really arriving before you share the door code. Instead of trusting a booking-channel profile, each guest proves their identity and is checked against risk signals during pre-check-in, and the system decides who is cleared automatically and who needs a closer look. Here is how SuiteVerify screens guests inside the SuiteOp guest portal:

  1. ID and selfie check with configurable rules

    The guest photographs a government ID and takes a selfie. AI reads the document and matches the selfie to the ID photo. For the configurable checks, you choose whether to skip the check, send the guest to your team for review, or allow one retry before staff step in. Guests who pass every check are verified automatically.

  2. Criminal and watchlist background checks

    Connect your own Authenticate.com account and SuiteVerify runs criminal record and global watchlist checks on the guest, with their consent.

  3. Sex offender registry search

    Check the guest's name against US sex offender registries before arrival.

  4. Screening rules per channel, plus a guest blacklist

    Choose which checks apply per property, booking channel and returning guest, and flag problem guests so you are alerted if they book again on any channel.

Results, risk assessments and outcome badges land on the reservation, so your team only reviews the guests the screening flags.

Answers to your questions

SuiteVerify streamlines the pre-check-in process by securely and thoroughly verifying guest identities, capturing security deposits, and facilitating rental agreement signing — all handled contactlessly through the guest portal.

The system uses two-step verification: artificial intelligence compares a photo from a guest's ID to a real-time selfie the guest takes, reducing fraudulent bookings while confirming the booker matches the guest.

By meticulously verifying the identities of guests, SuiteVerify minimizes the risk of fraudulent bookings that often lead to chargebacks, providing financial protection for property operators.

Yes — you can download the signed Rental Agreement with just one click, simplifying record-keeping and regulatory compliance.

The system automatically holds and renews guest security deposits in a Stripe account of your choice. Holds last 7 days, refresh weekly, and auto-release 72 hours post-stay (potentially 5–7 business days due to banking delays).

Verification integrates directly into the portal — guests complete their verification directly on the portal before accessing full features.
