Visitor badges are commonly issued by businesses and institutions (e.g., educational, governmental) to easily identify visitors and control and monitor access to areas/systems not open to the public. All visitors should be issued a visitor badge. They are used as temporary identification for visitors, vendors, temporary employees, trainees, and contractors. In some organizations (especially with high levels of security), all visitors must always wear badges in all areas.Visitor badges typically include pertinent information like the visitor name, the host/sponsor name, date of visit, dates valid, visitor’s company name, validity code, visitor type.
