Quick answer

Pre-arrival check-in form for hotels — ID details, arrival time, preferences and signature collected before the guest reaches the desk.

About this template

A busy Friday lobby is the wrong place to collect passport data and preferences. This check-in form lets guests register online before arrival — identity, arrival time, floor and pillow preference, incidental authorization — so the desk hands over a key, not a clipboard. Front-desk time drops, satisfaction goes up, and every stay has a compliant record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this legally valid?
Store the digital signature and identity answers; export per stay for your compliance record. Consult local law for ID requirements.
Does it integrate with a PMS?
FormLM does not write to a PMS; export responses and attach them to the reservation.
Is it free?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace and clone per property or room type.
What if guests skip it?
Desk staff send a QR on arrival — the same form works as a paperless fallback.
Can we collect incidental authorization?
Yes — add a checkbox referring to your card-on-file terms; every stay records consent.
