Asking guests for ID documents

I have just caught on to the fact that the Tourism Board Authority of the country my rental is located requires for the owner to check guests' details against their ID/passport.

I would need to ask for a scan of sorts since I am not on site.

1. Does anyone ask for documents? How do you go about it?
2. Is there anything I should keep in mind re-GDPR compliance?

Many thanks.

We have to register guests here in Spain. However, scans or even presenting of ID information is illegal. Thus registration should be done at the time of entry. I am willing to bet that there are a fair number who are not sticking to the law!
