Project Intake Form
Use a Project Intake Form template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Project Intake Form does
Project Intake Form is a business document used to gather project details, contacts, requirements, approvals, and signatures in one controlled record. In signNow, a sender uploads the form, reviews or adds fillable fields, assigns each field to the right participant, and sends it for completion. Recipients can review and sign from a browser or mobile device. The completed form, signer actions, timestamps, and audit trail remain together for internal review. Because this is not an identified government form, deadlines, required fields, and retention periods depend on the organization’s project policy and applicable industry rules.
Who uses Project Intake Form

Project Intake Form troubleshooting
Resolve field, signer, consent, compliance, plan, and retention questions before distributing a completed Project Intake Form.
Upload the original Project Intake Form again and confirm that its file type opens correctly. If fields are not detected, add them manually in the signNow editor, then assign each field to a named recipient before sending.
Business includes templates, audit trails, and legally binding eSignatures. Business Premium adds bulk send and kiosk mode. Choose the plan according to the number of Project Intake Form recipients and whether repeated distribution is required.
A typed or drawn signature can support an electronic signature when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. ESIGN and UETA provide the U.S. legal framework; maintain the completed form and audit trail together.
For consumer-facing Project Intake Forms, provide the ESIGN disclosure, explain the right to receive paper records, confirm electronic access, and explain consent withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Obtain consent before electronic signing.
If the form contains protected health information, use a signNow configuration with HIPAA compliance and a required business associate agreement. The BAA and organizational safeguards remain separate from the signature workflow.
Export the completed Project Intake Form and its audit trail after signing, then store both under the organization’s records policy. No federal retention period is established for this generic business form; applicable industry or state rules may control.
