Solution:
Create DB Table/Rails Model for User, Property, Reservation, Guest. User: stores global user information like name, police portal username and password. Property: stores property that belongs to user with information like Property name and its location. Reservation: stores reservation information links (adds relationship) with user, property, contract information and guest Guest: stores guest information like name, surname, gender etc and links (adds relationship) with reservation. Add valiations for Name, Surname, Gender, DOB, Country of Birth, Nationality, Passport Number, Email, CheckIn and CheckOut on Database validation (no null field)/Model Validations/Frontend Validation. Create a UI to make reservation allowing User to register Group Leader, guest beloning to Group Leader or a Single Guest. Download the Italian Police Portal certificate if there is no existing certificate and the existing certificate has expired. Use the certificate from above to login and fill guest information on Italian Police Portal. Generate Digitally signable contract, display the contract for The Guest to sign it and also allow the contract to be emailed to The Guest. Also allow user to download the contract.
