Who this template is for
Baptism Registration is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in faith & congregations.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 31 questions across 2 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 18 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a full postal address.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Who is being baptised?” is An adult, “Candidate's own contact details” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Has the candidate been baptised before?” is Yes, “Where and when, as far as you know” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Have you attended a preparation session?” is No, not yet, “Would you like to talk to someone before the date is confirmed?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Does anyone attending have an accessibility need?” is Yes, “What would help” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How is this different from a wedding and baptism booking form?
This is baptism only, so it can ask about sponsors, preparation sessions and how the name should appear in the register.
Is it suitable for adult baptism?
Yes. The first question sets who is being baptised, and adult candidates give their own contact details rather than a parent's.
Is it tied to one denomination?
No. The wording stays neutral, and terms like sponsors or godparents can be adjusted to match your own practice.
Who completes it for a child?
A parent or guardian, since it records family details, sponsors and consent to the arrangements for the day.
Is the Baptism Registration template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Baptism Registration on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
What does the Baptism Registration template ask for?
It asks 31 questions across 2 pages, 18 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.
