Country context
Turismiseadus § 24 requires accommodation providers to register each guest before the stay begins (generally from a travel document or ID), retain data two years, and deliver it to Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet on demand. No MTR lodging notice since 2014 and no collecting national or Tallinn tourist tax.
Self check-in works when statutory § 24 guest fields (and any ID check you require) are captured before door codes or lockbox instructions unlock.
