Don't Let Your ID Be Copied: What Mallorca Travelers Should Know at Check‑in

Answer

Can a hotel in Mallorca make a copy of my passport at check-in?

A hotel may ask to see your passport or ID, but a full copy is not always necessary. Under data minimization rules, only the information needed for check-in should be collected. If a copy is requested in Mallorca, it is reasonable to ask why it is needed and what legal basis applies.
