Host asking for passport id

Hi, it's my first time booking with airbnb. We are going to venice and the host has asked through WhatsApp for us to fill in a form with a photo of our passports. Is this usual? as I'm bit worried about giving a stranger a copy of my passport

It's a legal requirement to provide photo ID as a guest in Italy . @Dawn1150

Thanks for your reply.  I thought that might be the reason, so I've sent the form and photo of passport.

Hi @Dawn1150, 

 

Venice, what a dreamy destination! Is it your first visiting Italy?

 

I'm glad to see Helen's advice put your mind at ease, and if you need anything else please let us know. 🙂

 

Have a wonderful stay!

 

Emilie
