Is it necessary to scan my passport or verify my ID to purchase and use HotelESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

No, you do not need to scan your passport or go through any ID verification process to purchase or activate HotelESIM. While buying a physical SIM card in countries like China often involves strict passport registration and potentially long waiting times, HotelESIM offers a completely digital and hassle-free experience. You simply purchase your plan, scan the provided QR code, and you're instantly online. This concierge-ready setup ensures a smooth, quick, and private activation, allowing you to focus on your travel plans rather than paperwork.
