If a hotel asks you to send ID proof before check-in, do not send a raw copy when a protected copy will work.
A watermark adds clear usage text on the document, such as the hotel name, purpose, date, and trace ID. This makes the document less useful for anything outside that exact check-in.
Step 1: Choose the Right Document
Use only one ID proof unless the hotel specifically asks for more. If Aadhaar is used and masked Aadhaar is accepted, prefer the masked version.
Step 2: Open the Watermark Tool
Go to the home page of I Love Watermark PDF and upload the document. The tool is designed for browser-side watermarking, so the workflow is fast and simple.
Step 3: Enter Purpose Details
- Shared with: hotel or property name
- Purpose: hotel check-in or ID verification
- Date and time: current sharing time
- Trace ID: automatically created by the tool
Step 4: Download and Share
Download the protected copy and share that file with the hotel. Keep the original document separate and do not overwrite it.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not send a full unprotected Aadhaar image.
- Do not use a corner-only watermark that can be cropped out.
- Do not cover important ID details so heavily that the document becomes unreadable.
