Zero Software Required
This sheet works standalone. Print it, clip it to a board at your front desk, and let visitors sign in by hand today, no setup, no account, no cost.
Upgrade When You're Ready
When paper starts slowing you down, Vizitor replaces this clipboard with an iPad kiosk that checks visitors in and alerts hosts the instant a guest arrives.
Every Entry, Automatically Logged
No more flipping through binders for an old visitor record. Every check-in becomes a searchable digital log you can pull up in seconds, from any device.
A good front desk sign-in sheet captures six pieces of information. Turn columns on or off above to match what your office actually needs.
Visitor name
The baseline record. Without it, a signed sheet is just a row of scribbles nobody can trace back to a real person.
Company / visiting
Tells reception and security whether this is a client, vendor, or contractor, and which company they represent.
Time in
Establishes exactly when the visitor entered the building. Essential for evacuation headcounts and audit trails.
Time out
The column paper sheets almost always miss. Without a checkout time, you can never prove a visitor actually left.
Host / purpose
Records who invited the visitor and why. Speeds up finding the right person if a question comes up later.
Signature
Confirms the visitor agreed to your site's terms, an NDA, or a safety briefing, if you require one at check-in.
- Visitor arrives at reception
- Signs their name on the clipboard
- Receptionist calls the host manually
- Sheet stays on the desk, visible to everyone who walks by
- Time out is rarely filled in
- Sheet gets filed away or thrown out at month end
- Visitor checks in on an iPad kiosk
- Details captured digitally, never shown to other visitors
- Host notified instantly by SMS, email, or Slack
- Time in and time out logged automatically
- Every visit stored in a searchable, exportable log
- Visitor proceeds
A paper sheet also leaves every previous visitor's name and company visible to the next person who signs in, a privacy gap that a GDPR-conscious front desk needs to fix.
Attach it to a clipboard or board
A loose sheet on the counter gets shuffled, spilled on, or walks off with a visitor. Clip it to a board with a pen attached so it stays put and stays legible.
Replace the sheet daily
Start a fresh sheet every morning. A single sheet used for a week makes it hard to find a specific visitor and leaves a long list of names on display at once.
Mind the privacy gap
Every name above the current row is visible to the next person who signs in. If you handle sensitive visitors, consider a cover sheet, or move to a digital kiosk where entries are never shown to other guests.
File or shred old sheets
Once a sheet is full, store it somewhere secure if you need the record, or shred it. Don't leave completed sheets sitting in a drawer where anyone can flip through past visitor details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the visitor sign-in sheet generator free?
Yes. Choose your columns, set the row count, and print or save your sheet as a PDF at no cost.
Can I customize which fields visitors fill in?
Yes. You can pick from fields like name, company, time in, time out, host, and purpose of visit to match how your front desk operates.
Is a paper sign-in sheet secure enough for my office?
A paper sheet works for very low visitor volume, but it exposes every visitor's name and details to anyone who reads the page. For better privacy, security, and automatic host notifications, most offices eventually move to a digital visitor management system like Vizitor.
Can I use this for a single event instead of daily reception use?
Yes. It works well for one-off events, tours, or meetings where you just need a quick printable log, not a permanent system.
