As the name implies the visitation record, is designed to monitor your field visits during preliminary enumeration. The visitation record is also used primarily to construct a register [frame] of all households, business places and institutions in Trinidad and Tobago. This register is used extensively for the conduct of household, business and agriculture surveys during the intercensal years. It is therefore vital for this document to be completed accurately.
On the cover page of your visitation record you are required to fill out the identifying number, country, ward and enumeration district number as well as your own name and address before the start of enumeration. The rest of the information on the cover page is to be filled out on completion of enumeration. For example, the number of buildings, dwelling units, households, population etc. must be entered.
The visitation record consists of eighteen [18] numbered columns, each of which is intended to serve a specific purpose.

Enter the male members of the household, including male visitors who are expected to stay for at least one month and persons temporarily away, or in institutions but who are likely to return on or before census night. In brief, you will wish to record all persons, visitors included, who are likely to be members of the household on census night, i.e. midnight of 15th May, 1990.
Persons who are currently inmates of institutions, such as hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, etc. are recorded as members of the household if by census night, they would have been inmates for less than six months. If blank put a dash [-].
