Use a mobile pass to check in

See also:

Mobile passes speed up the check-in process by allowing congregants to take the process into their own hands. Scanning a mobile pass at a station automatically pulls up your household members so you can quickly check them in.

Ask an administrator or children's ministry volunteer to send you a mobile pass email so you can save the pass to your device and scan it at a check-in station. Depending on your church's campus settings, your household's pass will automatically appear on your device when you're within a half-mile of the church.

Download a mobile pass

Once your administrator or children's ministry leader sends you a mobile pass email, you can use it to download the pass onto your mobile device.

Check in using a mobile pass

    If the station is manned by a volunteer, they can also scan your mobile pass for you.

  3. Scan your mobile pass using the check-in station's camera or scanner.

  4. Choose which household members to check in.

  5. Tap Check in [number] people to finish checking in.
