Visitor Form
Use a Visitor Form 2012 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What the Visitor Form records
A Visitor Form is a structured intake and acknowledgment record for people entering a workplace, event, facility, or controlled area. It can collect the visitor’s identifying details, visit information, required disclosures, consent, and signature in one document. With signNow, an administrator uploads the form, places or detects fillable fields, assigns visitor and staff roles, sends an invitation or opens a controlled signing experience, and stores the completed record with an audit trail. Electronic-signature validity depends on intent, consent, attribution, and record retention under ESIGN and applicable state law.
Visitor Form features for controlled intake
Visitor Form workflows can combine structured visitor data, consent capture, assigned signing roles, audit evidence, and controlled record handling for U.S. organizations.
Structured intake
Capture visitor names, contact details, visit purpose, acknowledgments, and signatures in one structured record instead of relying on disconnected paper entries.
Required fields
Assign required fields and signer roles so visitors provide the information your reception, security, or facilities process actually needs before completion.
Reusable template
Create a reusable Visitor Form template for repeated check-in workflows while preserving consistent wording, field placement, and recipient assignments across locations.
Flexible signing
Collect signatures through web, mobile, kiosk, or shareable-link workflows, allowing the same form to serve reception desks, events, and field locations.
Audit trail
Store the completed Visitor Form with a signNow audit trail that records signing activity, supporting later review of the completed transaction.
Connected records
Connect signNow with storage, CRM, or workplace systems to route completed Visitor Form records without manually downloading and re-uploading every document.

Privacy pitfalls in Visitor Form workflows
Including unnecessary personal details in the Visitor Form can expose information to reception staff or later recipients who do not need access. Failing to capture clear consent before collecting visitor information can weaken the organization’s explanation of purpose and electronic-record handling. Giving every employee unrestricted access to completed Visitor Forms can expose visitor identities, contact details, or visit information beyond operational need. Using a shared kiosk without a clear sign-out step can leave the next visitor viewing the previous person’s completed fields or signature.
Visitor Form troubleshooting questions
Resolve signing, authentication, audit-trail, plan, and compliance questions before using a completed Visitor Form as an organizational record.
The signNow Business plan includes templates and audit trails for Visitor Form workflows. If your process requires kiosk mode or bulk distribution, Business Premium adds those capabilities. Review recipient roles, required fields, and invitation settings before sending the form again.
A visitor can often sign without a signNow account, depending on the sender’s configuration. If authentication is required, check the email address, SMS code delivery, and signer settings. Business Premium and Enterprise provide additional workflow options, while authentication requirements remain configuration-dependent.
For U.S. electronic records, ESIGN and applicable state electronic-transactions law generally recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are demonstrated. Consumer-facing workflows may also require the disclosure and access procedures in 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).
If the Visitor Form collects protected health information, signNow lists HIPAA compliance with a business associate agreement required. Limit collected information, restrict access by role, and confirm the organization’s BAA and retention procedures before deployment.
A missing audit trail usually reflects incomplete permissions, an unfinished signing event, or an export setting. The Business plan includes audit trails. Confirm the document reached a completed status, then retrieve the completion record from the document history.
The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month with annual billing, while Business Premium is $15 and includes bulk send and kiosk mode. All paid plans include unlimited users, but subscription plans include annual signature-invite allowances.
