Visitor Log: uses, sizes and printing tips
A visitor sign-in log for front desks: date, visitor name, company, who they are visiting, time in and out, badge number and signature. Used in offices, schools, construction sites, labs and care homes.
How to print it
- Choose the paper size (US Letter, A4, Legal, A5 or Half Letter) and portrait or landscape — the page updates as you change settings.
- Choose the log type, the row height and shaded rows; landscape fits more columns.
- Add a title or a name/date header if you want, or keep the page plain.
- Click Print / Save as PDF. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” (100%) and turn off “Headers and footers”.
Tips
- Keep the log on a clipboard at the entrance with a pen attached.
- Add the business or family name with the Title field and keep the log on a clipboard where it is used.
- Shaded rows make long logs easier to read across.
FAQ
Why keep a visitor log?
It shows who is in the building in an emergency and gives a record for security and safety audits.
Is a visitor log the same as a sign-in sheet?
A sign-in sheet usually records arrivals for an event; a visitor log also records time out and who was visited.
How long should I keep the logs?
It depends on the purpose — food safety, maintenance and visitor records are often kept for months or years. Follow your own policy or local rules.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It is completely free with no sign-up and no download. Change the settings, print it or save it as a PDF, and bookmark the address — your settings are stored in the link.
