A visitor sign in sheet needs the date, the visitor's name, their company, who they are visiting, and the times they arrive and leave. Ask for as little as you need. This sheet makes every box optional, so a visitor can leave any of them blank. Add a purpose column only if you will use it. ### Can other visitors read what I wrote on a paper sign in sheet? Yes, on paper or a shared screen, each visitor can read the lines above theirs. Three things help: print a fresh sheet often, lay a cover card over earlier lines so only the current row shows, or let visitors type their details on their own phone. PDFinish never sees what is typed. ### How long should I keep filled sign in sheets? There is no single rule. It depends on your industry, your contracts and your insurer, and local law may limit how long you hold personal details. Store filled sheets securely, share them with as few people as you can, and delete them when you no longer need them. Ask a lawyer about your own case. ### How do I add more rows to a sign in sheet? Fill in a second copy of the sheet, then join the two files with Merge PDF. Merging keeps each page as it is and happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Print the merged file, or keep one file for the whole day. Use the same business name and date on both pages. ### Is a sign in sheet the same as a visitor log? Not quite. A sign in sheet is a quick list that visitors fill in themselves at the door. A visitor log records each visit in more detail, such as the purpose, a badge number and who checked the visitor in. Use the sheet for names and times, and the log for security or a fire roll call. ### Is this template free? Filling it in is free, and you do not need an account. You type your answers in your browser and download the finished PDF. The blank PDF is free to download once; after that, Pro, Lifetime and Team unlock every blank template. ### What if I only want the blank PDF? One blank download is free for each visitor. After that, Pro gives you every blank template, plus unlimited uses. You can still fill any template in free. ### Does PDFinish see what I type? Not while you fill it in. The template opens and fills in your browser. If you ask us to email the finished file, it goes through our server, stays encrypted for 7 days so the link works, and is then deleted. ## Related tools - [Fill PDF](https://pdfinish.com/fill-pdf): Fill a PDF form, with or without fillable fields: type, tick, sign and date. - [Sign PDF](https://pdfinish.com/sign-pdf): Draw or type your signature and place it on the page. - [Merge PDF](https://pdfinish.com/merge-pdf): Combine several PDFs into one file, in the order you choose.
