For hotels, guest houses & homestays in India

Never refuse a foreign guest again.

The law gives you 24 hours to register every foreign guest with the FRRO — and fines of up to ₹3 lakh when it slips. Cformly turns the whole Form C into a few minutes: scan the passport, check the fields, and the portal form fills itself.

The honest question

Why not just fill Form C on the portal?

You legally can. The portal is just slow, fiddly, and unforgiving — and it punishes the mistakes you make on a busy night. Here's what Cformly takes off your plate.

01OCR

No more typing passport numbers

A passport has 40+ characters of machine-readable data. Cformly reads it straight off the camera — every name, number, and date filled without a single keystroke, and without the transcription typos that trigger FRRO scrutiny.

02REVIEW

Every field on one screen

The portal spreads the form across multiple tabs and pages. Cformly puts the whole record on a single review screen with confidence flags, so nothing is missed and nothing is guessed.

03FILL

The portal form fills itself

Open the official FRRO portal inside Cformly and the app fills the reviewed fields and attaches the selected guest photo. You review, solve the CAPTCHA, and press Save. The desktop extension remains available.

04TIME

The 24-hour deadline never sneaks up

Cformly counts down from the moment you capture a guest. What used to live in the back of your head is now on screen — so the night shift never files late, never pays the fine.

Your shift, simplified

Check in a guest in three moves.

No typing, no hunting through portal tabs. From the counter to the filed form — the same three steps, every guest, every time.

01SCAN

Scan

Point the camera at the passport and visa. OCR reads the fields instantly — no typing, no typos.

02CHECK

Check

Every field on one screen, with confidence flags on anything the OCR flagged. Fix it, add arrival and stay details, snap the guest photo.

03FILE

File

Open the official portal in-app, let Cformly fill the reviewed fields and attach the selected guest photo, then review, solve the CAPTCHA, and press Save.

Privacy

Guest data, on-device by design.

Capture and OCR run on the phone. Guest data stays encrypted on the device except during a user-initiated filing directly to the official FRRO portal. Cformly does not relay or store guest data.

Open-source OCR, on-device

Passports and visas are read by open-source software on the phone itself — no third-party AI services, and no document photo is ever uploaded to any server.

Encrypted on the phone

SQLCipher on the device, the key in the hardware keystore. Biometric or PIN lock, screen privacy, and clipboard hygiene are built in.

Human in the loop

Cformly fills fields and attaches the selected guest photo, but never presses Save. The host reviews the form, solves the CAPTCHA, and submits it.

Your data, your say

View, correct, or delete guest records on-device from Settings. Guest records are not exported.

Languages

Twelve Indian languages, side by side.

Front desks across India speak many languages. Cformly does too, on every screen.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Why do I need the app if I can just fill the form on the FRRO website?
The portal is slow and unforgiving. Cformly scans the passport, puts every field on one review screen, then fills the official portal in-app or through the desktop extension. You still review the form, solve the CAPTCHA, and press Save.
Is Cformly a government app?
No. Cformly is an independent filing assistant. The host remains legally responsible for accurate and timely filing, and Cformly is not affiliated with or endorsed by the FRRO or the Government of India.
Who solves the CAPTCHA on the portal?
Cformly fills the reviewed fields and attaches the selected guest photo. The host reviews the form, solves the CAPTCHA, and presses Save.
Where does guest data live?
Capture and OCR run on the phone. Guest data stays encrypted on the device except during a user-initiated filing directly to the official FRRO portal through the in-app filing view or desktop extension. Cformly does not relay or store guest data.
Does it work offline?
Scanning, extracting fields, reviewing records, and filling the portal all work fully on-device — no connection needed to read a passport or fill the form. Filing to the FRRO portal needs a browser (with or without the extension).
What is the 24-hour rule?
Foreign guests must be registered with the FRRO within 24 hours of check-in, and their departure must be reported the same way. Cformly shows a countdown from the moment a guest is captured, so the deadline never sneaks up on the night shift.
Which languages does it support?
Twelve: English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi, Marathi, Urdu, Bengali, Gujarati and Assamese — switchable from settings.
