We, The Undersigned, Being All Of The Members Of The Board Of Directors Of Form
Use a We, The Undersigned, Being All Of The Members Of The Board Of Directors Of template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What this board consent form does
This form records that all listed members of a corporation’s board of directors approve the stated action in writing, rather than documenting a general contract or tax filing. The completed record normally identifies the corporation, approval date, directors, resolution text, and signature blocks. Each director reviews the same approved language and signs the consent, subject to the corporation’s bylaws, articles, and applicable state corporate law. signNow can upload the document, detect fillable fields, route them to named directors, capture signing events, and store the completed consent with an Audit Trail.
Who uses this board consent form
Corporate governance teams
Corporate secretaries and legal teams prepare unanimous written consents by identifying the corporation, approval date, directors, resolutions, and supporting exhibits. signNow can route each signature field to the specified director, record completion events, and preserve the final consent with its audit evidence for corporate files.
Small organization boards
Small businesses and nonprofit boards use this form when directors approve a defined action without a meeting, subject to their governing documents and state corporate law. A controlled signNow template can reduce omitted fields while keeping the final resolution and signer identities visible to authorized administrators.
How the board consent workflow works
The signNow workflow keeps the approved resolution intact while routing signature fields to the directors named in the consent.

Challenges when completing the board consent
Board members may sign without confirming the corporation’s exact legal name, authorization language, or resolution date. Multiple directors can create inconsistent signature blocks when names, titles, and signing order are not standardized. A completed consent may lack supporting minutes, exhibits, or a clear record of unanimous approval. Using an electronic signature without documented intent, consent, and retrievable records can weaken later evidentiary review.
Record-keeping practices for board consents
Reliable records connect the directors’ approval, the signed document, and the evidence showing how the electronic transaction occurred.
Preserve the complete approval record
Export the audit evidence
Match retention to the record
Secure the archived documents
Platform requirements for director signing
Directors can review the board consent in supported browsers using Windows or macOS, or through signNow mobile apps for iOS and Android. Use a current browser, a reliable connection, and TLS-protected access when completing signature fields.
Supported browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge Desktop systems Windows and macOS computers Mobile access iOS and Android mobile apps
Corporate administrators should approve managed-device access, account provisioning, and repository permissions before distributing the consent. Organizations using API, SSO, certificate-based signing, or regulated workflows should confirm the required signNow plan and configuration separately, because those controls are not established by the board consent itself.

Troubleshooting board consent signing
These answers address field detection, director authentication, plan limits, and evidence preservation for electronically signed board approvals.
Upload the board consent as a PDF, then inspect signNow’s detected fields before sending. Add missing director names, titles, dates, and signature fields manually. The Business plan includes templates and audit trails, which can standardize repeated corporate approvals without changing the approved resolution text.
A typed, drawn, or click-to-sign signature can document intent under ESIGN and applicable state law when attribution, consent, and record retention requirements are met. For a consumer-facing transaction, review the electronic-record disclosure requirements in 15 U.S.C. §7001(c) before requesting signatures.
Use separate recipient roles for each director and confirm the signing order reflects the corporation’s governing documents. signNow’s role-based fields and signing workflow help route the same consent to every required signer without allowing one director’s fields to be completed by another.
The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes 100 signature invites per user per year. Business Premium is $15 per user per month annually and adds bulk send, which may help distribute repeated consents.
Enable stronger authentication when the corporation’s policy requires more than an email link. signNow supports two-factor authentication and SMS OTP; Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication. Authentication choices should match the organization’s risk assessment and governing policy.
Export the completed PDF and signNow Audit Trail after every approval. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and UETA focus on intent, attribution, consent, and record reproducibility; the audit evidence helps demonstrate those elements during later review.
