About this blog

We write articles mainly about visitor management, which helps you to know who is (or has been) in your facility. It is just part of an organization’s physical security processes that protect people and property within and around a building or campus.

What visitor information do I need to collect at my office building?

by Paul Kazlauskas

THRESHOLD has been designing and producing visitor badges for companies across America since 2003. Since our specialty is visitor badges and visitor management software, we’ve seen our fair share of custom ideas from customers. Therefore, we’re ready to help design badge templates for companies whenever they ask “what visitor information should my badge capture?”

As Security Directors consider what types of information their organization needs to know, there may be additional information they want to know. But those wants should be weighed against how sensitive the visitor data is and the time it takes to process visitors.

Here is a list of information many companies capture with their visitor management system, followed by how it might appear in a visitor badge:

  • First and last name.
  • The time the visitor arrived.
  • Who the visitor is there to see.
  • If the visitor is a vendor, his or her company affiliation.
  • The visitor’s destination. This could be a floor number, room number, department, and/or building.
  • The type of visitor. The guest could be designated as Family, Vendor, Contractor, Volunteer, or just a general Visitor.
  • Their expected duration of visit.
  • A photo of the visitor.
