How QR Code Visitor Sign-In Works
QR codes provide a convenient way for visitors to access a digital registration process.
Instead of waiting to use a shared reception device, visitors can scan a code and complete the required information using a compatible device.
This can be useful in busy reception areas and organisations managing frequent arrivals.
What Is QR Code Visitor Sign-In?
QR code visitor sign-in uses a scannable code to direct visitors to a digital registration process.
The visitor opens the registration journey and provides the information requested by the organisation.
The system can then record the arrival and support other configured actions, such as host notifications.
The Typical Sign-In Journey
- Scan The visitor scans the QR code displayed at the relevant location.
- Open The registration process opens on a compatible device.
- Register The visitor provides the required details.
- Read Relevant site information can be presented.
- Notify The system can notify the relevant host.
- Record The visit is recorded digitally.

What Are the Limitations?
QR code sign-in depends on compatible devices, available connectivity and visitors being able to use the process.
Organisations should provide assistance or alternative registration methods where necessary.
A QR code does not independently verify identity, authorise entry or prove physical presence.
What Should Organisations Consider Before Introducing It?
Consider:
- Where QR codes will be displayed
- Whether visitors have suitable devices
- Accessibility and alternative sign-in methods
- Required registration information
- Host notification arrangements
- Privacy information
- Sign-out procedures
- Emergency access to visitor records
QR Codes and Multiple Locations
Organisations with several sites should ensure that visitor registrations are associated with the correct location.
Location-specific processes can help reduce incorrect registrations.
