Tips

register
Casual contraction of 请问您是哪位. Polite enough thanks to and , but more clipped, used after the opening ('hello') when you want to keep it brief. Common in Beijing speech.
grammar
Drops 请问 ('may I ask'), ('are'), and the question particle. Restoring all of it: (请问)()(?). The honorific alone is what keeps this short form polite.
