visitor check-in
Guest sign-in procedure
Visitor check-in is the process of registering guests when they arrive at a location—an office building, hotel, hospital, or school.
The procedure typically involves recording the visitor's name, purpose, and arrival time, often in exchange for a badge or pass: Please complete visitor check-in at the front desk.
Modern systems may use digital kiosks or apps rather than paper logs.
