Living Application

Create a custom Living Application 2011 that meets your industry’s specifications.

What Living Application is and how it works

Living Application is a document used to collect a person’s information, review, consent, and signature in one record. Because the name does not identify a single federal form or issuing agency, its required fields and legal purpose depend on the organization using it. In signNow, a sender uploads the document, adds or reviews fillable fields, assigns recipients, and sends it for completion. Recipients review the contents, provide required information, and sign electronically. The completed document and audit trail can then be stored together, subject to applicable U.S. law and record-retention requirements.

Who completes Living Application

Individuals

Individuals and organizations use Living Application to collect personal information, approvals, and signatures in one document. Review each field before sending, limit access to authorized recipients, and retain the completed record according to the transaction’s legal and business requirements.

Organizations

Businesses can use Living Application for onboarding, consent, housing, healthcare, or internal records when the document’s underlying transaction permits electronic signatures. signNow supports fillable fields, signer routing, mobile completion, and an audit trail for the finished record.

Businesses that use Living Application

Living Application fits workflows where people must provide information, review terms, and sign a record electronically.

  • Solo healthcare practices can use Living Application for patient-facing applications and consent workflows, pairing restricted access with HIPAA-compliant signNow processing and a business associate agreement when protected health information is involved.
  • Real estate firms can collect rental applications and related approvals remotely, routing Living Application to applicants and staff while preserving the completed document and signing history for transaction records.
  • Enterprise operations teams can standardize Living Application through shared templates, delegated sending, and administrator controls, helping multiple departments collect consistent information without recreating fields for every recipient.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Retention periods for signed records

The correct retention period depends on what Living Application documents. Apply the rule governing the underlying record, not the signing platform alone.

01

Tax records — three years

Retain tax-related records three years from filing under IRC §6501(a), unless a different rule applies.
02

HIPAA records — six years

Retain HIPAA-related records six years from creation or last effective date under 45 CFR §164.530(j).
03

Payroll records — three years

Retain payroll records three years under 29 CFR §516.5 when the application supports payroll documentation.
04

OSHA injury records — five years

Retain OSHA injury records five years following the covered year under 29 CFR §1904.33.
05

Exposure records — thirty years

Retain OSHA exposure records thirty years under 29 CFR §1910.1020 when exposure documentation is included.

Best practices for signed Living Application records

Prepare Living Application consistently, document electronic consent, preserve signing evidence, and apply the retention rule for the underlying record.

Review every field before sending

Upload the final Living Application version before adding fields, then review every detected or manually placed field. Confirm names, required responses, signer roles, and signing order before delivery. Keep a controlled source template so later sends use the same approved wording and field map.

Capture consumer electronic consent

Record the electronic consent process when Living Application is consumer-facing. Provide the ESIGN disclosure, explain paper-record rights, confirm electronic access, and document withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Store that evidence with the signed document rather than in a separate unlinked system.

Export the audit trail with records

Export the completed Living Application and its audit trail after signing. Preserve signer events, timestamps, authentication details, and the certificate of completion in access-controlled storage. Apply the retention period for the underlying record, such as six years for HIPAA records under 45 CFR §164.530(j).

Restrict access and preserve readability

Limit access to Living Application records according to the information they contain. Use role-based permissions, stronger authentication for sensitive workflows, and a documented retention review. Remove unnecessary sharing links and confirm that stored copies remain readable and reproducible.

Privacy risks in Living Application workflows

  • Personal information can appear in completed Living Application records, requiring controlled sharing, restricted permissions, and secure storage after signing.
  • Consumer-facing workflows may require electronic-record disclosures and proof that recipients can access the Living Application format.
  • Sending Living Application to the wrong recipient can expose private data and weaken attribution of the completed signature.
  • Unclear consent language can leave the record without reliable evidence that the signer agreed to electronic processing.

Platform requirements for Living Application

Complete Living Application through signNow in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on Windows or macOS. signNow also provides mobile apps for iOS and Android, while encrypted connections use TLS 1.2/1.3.

  • Browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
  • Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktops
  • Mobile apps iOS and Android mobile apps

Organizations handling sensitive Living Application records should manage account permissions, signer access, and storage policies centrally. Confirm that recipients can access the electronic format, configure authentication appropriate to the data, and preserve the completed document with its audit trail under the applicable record-retention rule.

Living Application troubleshooting questions

Resolve field, consent, authentication, plan, privacy, and legal-scope questions before sending Living Application for signature.

Upload Living Application as a PDF, then use signNow’s field tools to place text, date, checkbox, and signature fields. If fields are not detected, confirm the source file contains a clear, readable form layout and add fields manually before sending.

For a consumer-facing Living Application, provide the required ESIGN disclosure, explain the right to receive paper records, confirm electronic access, and explain withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Retain evidence of consent with the completed record.

The signNow Business plan is listed at $8/user/month with annual billing and includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, and mobile apps. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15/user/month annually; month-to-month pricing is higher.

If Living Application contains protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a business associate agreement. Configure the appropriate agreement and access controls before collecting or sharing health information.

Use signer authentication appropriate to the document’s sensitivity. signNow supports two-factor authentication and advanced signer authentication options; record the signer’s actions, timestamps, and IP information in the audit trail.

Electronic signatures generally have legal effect under ESIGN and applicable state law when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. Wills, court filings, family law decrees, and other statutory exceptions require separate legal treatment.
