Cformly
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.
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.
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.
The portal form fills itself
No extension? You copy the fields once. With the free browser extension, Cformly auto-fills the FRRO portal form from those copied fields. You stay in control — you solve the CAPTCHA and attach the photo, as required.
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.
Scan
Point the camera at the passport and visa. OCR reads the fields instantly — no typing, no typos.
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.
File
Open the portal in a browser, paste the copied guest fields, and the extension fills the form. You solve the CAPTCHA and attach the photo — done in minutes.
Privacy
Guest data stays on the property.
Passports and visas are personal data. Cformly reads them on the phone — so that data never needs to leave the front desk, and never touches a Cformly server.
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
The CAPTCHA and the photo attachment stay with the host. Cformly fills the form; the host files it.
