Gate Sentry launches visitor self-registration tool for controlled-entry properties

Gate Sentry said on Aug. 18, 2026, that it has launched Visitor Self-Registration, a mobile-first feature that lets visitors complete required registration details before arriving at a property.

The company said the system is designed to shorten check-in at staffed and unmanned entrances by moving data collection ahead of the visit. Gate Sentry said the feature can help security staff verify information instead of entering it at the gate.

According to the release, a user can send a secure link by text or email so the visitor can submit required information from a phone. The process can include document uploads, identification, vehicle information and signatures. Gate Sentry said visitors do not need to download an app or create an account.

The company said each client can decide what information is required. Once the required information is submitted, the scheduled visit is automatically approved, according to the release. Gate Sentry said the data is available for review before and after arrival.

Michael Rendon, identified in the release as Gate Sentry's chief executive, said the feature moves a traditional entry bottleneck to before the visitor arrives. He said the goal is to make entry faster, easier and more secure.

Gate Sentry said the feature is customizable for guests, contractors, vendors and other visitors. The company said it is intended for gated communities, commercial and industrial facilities, multifamily properties, private clubs and resorts.
