Form I-910, Application For Civil Surgeon Designation

Use a Form I 910, Application For Civil Surgeon Designation template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What Form I-910 does

Form I-910, Application for Civil Surgeon Designation, is the USCIS application used by a physician seeking designation as a civil surgeon for immigration medical examinations. The applicant completes the form with professional and practice information, signs it, and submits it according to current USCIS instructions. signNow can support the document workflow by uploading the form, detecting fillable fields, assigning signature fields, sending the application for signature, and storing the completed copy with an audit trail. USCIS requirements, filing instructions, and any required evidence remain controlling.

Civil surgeons

Civil surgeons use Form I-910 to request or maintain designation for immigration medical examinations. Their workflow includes preparing professional information, supporting evidence, and USCIS-directed submissions with controlled access and a complete signing record.

Medical practices

Medical practices and immigration health clinics coordinate Form I-910 preparation, review, signature, and document storage. signNow helps route the completed form while preserving the original record and audit trail for internal compliance procedures.

Business types using Form I-910

Form I-910 workflows vary by practice size, but each organization must preserve accurate information, authorized signatures, and USCIS-directed supporting records.

A solo physician can prepare Form I-910 personally, use a reusable signNow template, and maintain the signed application and supporting records without building a separate document system.
A multi-provider immigration clinic can route Form I-910 through designated reviewers, control access to medical information, and preserve consistent copies for each physician’s USCIS-related workflow.
A hospital or enterprise health network can standardize Form I-910 handling through shared templates, delegated sending, role-based permissions, and centralized audit-trail retention across participating facilities.

Retention and record-keeping practices

A defensible Form I-910 record includes the submitted form, supporting materials, signature evidence, and a documented retention decision.

Preserve the current USCIS form version

Keep the USCIS source and signed copy together

Apply a documented retention policy

Download the completed Form I-910 and its signNow audit trail after signing. Store both in a restricted practice repository, use consistent file naming, and record the retention rule selected by the clinic’s privacy and legal teams rather than applying an unsupported universal period.

Assess HIPAA record status

HIPAA-covered records require six years from creation or the last effective date under 45 CFR 164.530(j). Determine whether the Form I-910 file contains protected health information, then coordinate the retention decision with the covered entity’s HIPAA policy.

Export and secure the audit trail

Limit Form I-910 access to the applicant, authorized reviewers, and designated administrators. Export the audit trail with the signed document, verify that the file opens correctly, and preserve access logs in secure archival storage.

Document preparation

Upload the current USCIS PDF, confirm Form I-910 fields, and attach required supporting material before sending.

Delivery to signer

Send the prepared application to the authorized physician through signNow email delivery or a signing link.

Signer turnaround

The physician reviews the application and signs when the information and supporting records are ready.

Completion and archival

Download the completed Form I-910 and audit trail, then archive them under the clinic’s documented policy.

Form I-910 troubleshooting questions

Resolve Form I-910 workflow issues by separating signNow’s document controls from USCIS eligibility, filing, and submission requirements.

The Business plan includes templates, audit trails, mobile apps, and legally binding eSignatures at $8 per user per month with annual billing. Upload Form I-910, verify detected fields against USCIS instructions, and assign the authorized physician before sending. USCIS, not signNow, determines filing acceptance.

A completed signNow transaction does not establish civil-surgeon eligibility or replace USCIS filing instructions. Confirm that the applicant, practice information, supporting evidence, and submission method satisfy the current USCIS requirements before relying on the signed Form I-910 record.

For protected health information, signNow states that HIPAA compliance requires a business associate agreement. A clinic should confirm its plan, execute the required BAA, restrict Form I-910 access, and apply its own HIPAA policies before including PHI in the workflow.

If the uploaded PDF has no usable fields, signNow can still support preparation by allowing staff to place text, date, and signature fields. Review every placed field against the current USCIS Form I-910 before inviting the physician to sign.

The Business Premium plan is listed at $15 per user per month with annual billing and includes bulk send and kiosk mode. Bulk send may help a clinic distribute repeated workflows, but each Form I-910 still requires applicant-specific review.

Electronic records can be legally recognized under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and applicable state law when intent, consent, attribution, and retention requirements are met. Preserve the signed Form I-910 and audit trail; USCIS instructions still control submission.
