Nightly Check-in
2
votes
Hola! I work in a shelter, and the residents are required to check-in every night. They basically just have to let us know they're there so we know the room isn't sitting empty. Should I use the verb registrarse to explain this to them, or just stick with saying "check-in" in English (and explaining it) like I have been? Most of these people are from Mexico, though there are people from other places as well. What would be most clear?

I would be careful with that verb, even though, you are using it correctly in this context. I often see it used meaning "to search" which certainly isn't the context that you wish to imply here.

Registrarse is perfect.
