I am allowed to invite guests into my home even if their identity isn't pre-registered with my landlord.

Personally I'm a big fan of not registering with the police every time a use a public restroom.

It's for security, like showing your ID at the airport! Airports have public restrooms, after all.

Quick, show me your ID. That way if you get scammed I know know it was you that got scammed!

But guests can't stay over night without registering them in many countries

Fortunately I don't live in one of those.
