Security Note
While the Bunks Passport confirms verified identity, we still recommend occasional spot-checks of physical ID documents for additional security and compliance.
“I checked into 6 hostels across Himachal last month. After the first one, I just scanned the QR and walked in. No forms, no waiting. It's like having VIP access everywhere.”
Questions about
Bunks Passport?
It's a digital identity card issued after your first successful check-in and KYC verification at any Bunks-powered hostel. It has a unique card number and validity period, and allows you to do instant 'Swoosh' check-ins at other properties.
No. We only store a verification reference ID and basic profile info (name, photo). The actual Aadhaar number or full document is never stored. This follows UIDAI-specified offline verification methods.
No problem! Your first check-in takes about 30 seconds with our e-check-in flow. After that, you get your Passport and all future stays are instant.
Yes, and we encourage it occasionally. While the passport confirms your identity is verified, property owners can always request to see your physical document for additional security.
It works at any hostel using the Bunks platform. The network is growing across India — from Goa to Manali to Kerala.
