# Template: Handover report for courier runs — download

Editable handover report template for courier runs. Includes fields for time, driver, recipient, photos and damage report. Available as PDF and Word.

22 September 2026

## Quick answer

Download our editable handover report template in PDF or Word. It includes fields for handover time, driver and recipient names, photos and a damage report. The template helps document courier runs in cities like Wien, Linz or Graz and supports clear claims handling.

## Why use a handover report

A handover report records the shipment condition at the time of transfer. It reduces misunderstandings between sender, courier and recipient. This is useful for sensitive or high-value items and speeds up claims handling in cities such as Wien, Innsbruck or Salzburg.

## What the template contains

The template has fields for date and time, sender and recipient, driver name, vehicle registration, shipment description, visible damages, a damage code option, signatures, and space for up to three photos. It also includes a short notes field and acceptance status.

## PDF vs Word: edit and archive

Use the PDF for printing and archiving. The Word version lets you adapt the layout and add fields. Both formats can be filled digitally or scanned after handwritten completion. Adjust the template to match your internal audit needs.

## How to use it in practice

Complete the report at each handover — in the vehicle or at the customer site. Photograph visible damage with a smartphone and attach the images. Get signatures from driver and recipient. Store a photo or scan of the completed form with your accounting or tracking records.

## Tips for clean damage reports

Describe damage clearly: location, extent and type (e.g. dent on corner, tear in carton). Note whether the shipment was accepted or refused. In disputed cases, take timestamped photos and list any witnesses.

## Download and customize

Download the template as editable Word or print-ready PDF. Add your company logo, contact info and internal reference numbers. Use the template consistently to create standard documentation for courier runs.

## Frequently asked questions

Is the template legally binding? The report is a record and not legal advice. A signed handover can serve as evidence in disputes, but consult legal counsel for binding guidance.

Can I sign the template digitally? Yes. The Word version works with digital signature tools. You can also scan a photographed handwritten signature for archiving.

How many photos should I attach? 1–3 photos are practical: an overall shot of the packages and detailed close-ups of damage. Use good lighting and timestamping where possible.

Is this template suitable for international shipments? Yes. Adapt address and customs fields as needed. The basic structure for condition, time and signatures remains the same.
