Who this template is for

Visitor and Contractor Sign-In 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 facilities & property management.
  • 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 19 questions across 3 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

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.
  • Conditional logic hides 7 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 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.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Visitor type” is Delivery driver, the form dynamically exposes “Delivery reference”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Visitor type” is Delivery driver, the form dynamically exposes “Loading bay required”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Are you driving on site today?” is Yes, “Vehicle registration” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Have you signed out?” is Yes, “Time of departure” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.

  • All 7 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

A sign-in record earns its keep on the one day there is an evacuation, so this form is written for that moment. It takes the visitor's name, company, mobile number and the name of the person they are visiting — a person, not a department — plus the reason for the visit and the expected duration, so reception knows when someone is overdue. Visitor type routes the rest: a contractor is asked for their induction reference and whether they hold a permit for today's work, while a delivery driver is asked for the vehicle registration, the delivery reference and the bay they need. Anyone driving on site gives a registration regardless, because that is what allows a car on the fire route to be traced in two minutes. The evacuation block is short and deliberate: the assembly point is stated, the alarm is described, and the visitor confirms they have read it. Sign-out is part of the same record, capturing the departure time and whether the badge and any keys were returned, so the on-site list is accurate rather than aspirational. Kept in card layout, the whole thing takes under a minute on a tablet at reception.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Copy the template

    Rename it for your reception point and open it on a tablet in kiosk mode.

  2. 2

    Write your evacuation text

    Replace the assembly point and alarm description with your own, then keep that wording fixed.

  3. 3

    Match the visitor types

    Adjust Visitor type so the follow-up questions fit the people who actually arrive at your door.

  4. 4

    Sign people out too

    Reopen the record on departure, or ask visitors to scan the same link to complete the sign-out questions.

  5. 5

    Use it in a drill

    Run a roll call from the day's submissions during your next drill; that is the fastest way to find out whether sign-outs are being done.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Capturing arrivals but not departures, which makes the roll call useless.
  • Recording the host's department instead of the host's name.
  • Skipping the vehicle question, then being unable to identify a car blocking the fire route.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Print or display the on-site list at the assembly point, and reconcile sign-outs at the end of each day.

Works in both layouts

These pages cover the same subject ground as the visitor and contractor sign-in form, matched on the words people actually search for.

Frequently asked questions

Is card layout right for a reception tablet?

Yes — one question per screen is quicker to complete standing up, and skipped branches never appear. You can switch to classic if you prefer a single page.

How do we get an accurate on-site list?

Filter today's submissions where Have you signed out? is No. That list is your roll call, which is why the sign-out question matters more than the sign-in.

Should we keep visitor records indefinitely?

No. Set a retention period that matches your data protection policy and delete older submissions on schedule.

What about regular contractors?

They still sign in each visit, but their induction reference links back to the induction record instead of repeating those questions.

Can we print badges from this?

The submission gives you name, company and host, which is everything a badge needs; export or connect it to whichever badge printer you use.

Is the Visitor and Contractor Sign-In Form template free to use?
