A sign-in sheet, or sign-up sheet, is used to record information about visitors or guests at an event. Upon entering the location, the form will be present for the attendee to write their name, time (with date), and signature (if required). The form may also be used to collect information about the participants either for contact purposes or if the individual is required to be at a certain event.

How to Make a Sign-Up Sheet (3 steps)
1. Decide the Number (#) of Columns
Due to the limited area of an 8.5″ by 11″ piece of paper, it’s best if the sheet is limited to a maximum of five (5) columns. Especially if the individual’s e-mail, phone, or mailing address are obtained.
By Columns
- 2-Columns: PDF, MS Word, OpenDocument
- 3-Columns: PDF, MS Word, OpenDocument
- 4-Columns: PDF, MS Word, OpenDocument
- 5-Columns: PDF, MS Word, OpenDocument
2. Title the Columns
The first (1st) column is recommended to be for the individual’s name, while the other columns may be for any of the following:
- E-Mail Address
- Phone Number
- Mailing Address
- Date
- Time In
- Time Out
- Total Time
- Reason for Visit
- Signature
