Virtual Check-In Form

A guest with a confirmed reservation standing outside waiting for someone to buzz them in already did the hard part, they just never got a way to finish checking in without a front desk. Let people confirm their arrival and get what they need before they're standing at the door.

Reservations still route people through a physical check-in step more often than they need to: a keycard picked up at a desk, a phone call to confirm someone's on their way, a staff member who has to be there in person just to hand over access. It works fine during business hours, and falls apart the moment someone arrives early, late, or after everyone's gone home.

Typeform's virtual check-in form asks for what the reservation needs before someone arrives: contact information, confirmation details, arrival time, and ID verification, and uses conditional logic to branch from there. An arrival outside standard hours can branch to specific access instructions; a group booking can branch to a question about how many people are checking in, instead of every reservation working through the same fixed steps regardless of when or how someone's arriving.

Every check-in lands in one record instead of a phone call and a note left for whoever's on shift. Connect the form to your booking or property management software through Zapier, and a completed check-in can trigger an access code or update a reservation's status automatically. Send it ahead of arrival, and people get in on their own schedule instead of waiting on someone to be available.

Virtual Check-In Form FAQs:

A virtual check-in form is an online form businesses use to let someone with a reservation confirm their arrival and complete check-in remotely, without waiting on a front desk or staff member. It covers what's needed to grant access or start the booking, submitted ahead of time instead of in person.

An in person or phone check-in only works when someone's available to handle it, which limits arrival times to whatever hours staff are around. A form lets someone complete check-in whenever they arrive, and it captures the same information a front desk would ask for without needing anyone on the other end at that exact moment.

Ask for what you'll need to confirm the reservation and grant access:

  • Name and contact information
  • Reservation or confirmation number
  • Expected arrival time
  • Number of guests or occupants
  • ID verification, if required

Not automatically. The form confirms the details of the reservation, but access still typically depends on things like payment status or ID verification going through. Connect it to your booking system through Zapier so a completed check-in can trigger an access code once everything checks out.

Yes. Add a file upload question and guests can attach a photo ID or a confirmation email in the same submission, no separate message required. Pair it with conditional logic so the upload only appears when verification is actually needed for that reservation.

Delivery Details Form

Delivery Details Form

A gate code mentioned once over the phone doesn't make it into the driver's hands three deliveries later. Collect what your delivery team actually needs, address, access instructions, and delivery preferences, before the truck leaves for the day.

Nationality Verification Form

Nationality Verification Form

A self-certification buried in a stack of new account paperwork isn't the kind of record a compliance team can rely on for a regulatory filing. Collect nationality, tax residency, and a signed declaration before an account opens, so compliance isn't chasing down a customer's citizenship status after the fact.

Policy Cancellation Form

Policy Cancellation Form

A cancellation requested over the phone doesn't leave a clear record of exactly what date the policyholder actually asked for, and that date matters more than it sounds like it should. Collect what your agency actually needs, policy details, identity verification, and the requested effective date, before coverage actually ends.

Inheritance Beneficiary Form

Inheritance Beneficiary Form

Asking a grieving family member for the same banking details across three different phone calls doesn't make settling an estate go any faster. Collect what your firm actually needs, beneficiary information, identification, and distribution details, in one submission instead of three calls.

Personal Training Informed Consent Form

A consent form signed in the ten seconds before a first session isn't the kind of informed agreement that holds up if something goes wrong. Walk clients through the specific risks of training and get a signed, dated acknowledgment before the first rep, so consent actually means what the word implies.

Unconditional Release Form

Unconditional Release Form

A lien waiver signed at the job site with a pen borrowed from someone's truck isn't the kind of document a lender wants to see before releasing a draw. Collect the project, payment details, and a signed unconditional release before funds go out, so a draw isn't held up by a waiver nobody can find.
