Who this template is for
Pickup Authorization Form 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 daycare forms.
- 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 13 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.
- 11 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Is anyone restricted from collecting your child?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Who, and what does the order say?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Is anyone restricted from collecting your child?” is Yes, “Upload the court order or agreement” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Collection is the moment a centre is most exposed, and a verbal "my sister's coming today" is not a record. This form lists the adults permitted to collect with their relationship and phone number, sets a family password for one-off changes, and gives a family a place to record any court-ordered restriction and attach the order itself.
What this form asks
Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.
