Authorization Described

Create a custom Authorization Described 2012 that meets your industry’s specifications.

What Authorization Described means

Authorization Described is a document used to record a person’s or organization’s permission for a stated action, recipient, period, or purpose. The supplied form name does not identify an issuing agency, official form number, required fields, filing deadline, or jurisdiction. Before signing, confirm those details from the document and applicable law. In signNow, upload the document, review its fields, identify the signer, send it for signature, and retain the completed file with its audit trail. ESIGN and UETA may support electronic signatures when their requirements and applicable exceptions are satisfied.

Who uses Authorization Described

Businesses

Organizations can use Authorization Described for a defined authorization record when a person or business must approve access, representation, disclosure, or another stated action. The sender should identify the actual authority granted, signer, effective date, and any limits before sending it.

Regulated teams

Legal, healthcare, financial, and administrative teams can route Authorization Described to the person granting authority and retain the completed record. If the document concerns protected health information, the workflow should follow HIPAA requirements and the organization’s privacy procedures.

  • Upload document: Upload the completed Authorization Described file to signNow.
  • Check fields: Review detected fields and add missing signer fields.
  • Send for signature: Send Authorization Described to the designated signer.
  • Archive record: Store the signed document with its audit trail.

Challenges when completing Authorization Described

  • Leaving the authorized action or expiration date undefined can create disputes about the signer’s intended scope.
  • Sending the document to the wrong recipient weakens attribution and may require a corrected authorization.
  • Omitting required fields, initials, or dates can leave the Authorization Described record incomplete.
  • Using an authorization for a document excluded by state or federal law can prevent electronic enforceability.

Document exclusions and state rules

Notarization required

May require wet-ink execution

Wills and codicils

Electronic record may be excluded

Court orders

Court filing rules still apply

Family law documents

Family-law decree rules remain controlling

Real-estate deeds

Deed recording may require acknowledgment

Best practices for Authorization Described

Accurate scope, controlled signer access, and preserved evidence help keep Authorization Described aligned with its intended legal and operational use.

Confirm the authorization scope before sending

Before uploading Authorization Described, identify the person granting authority, the recipient, the authorized action, the effective date, and any expiration or limitation. Do not rely on a generic authorization label when the document itself does not define those terms.

Check every detected field against the document

Use signNow’s field detection as a starting point, then compare every detected field with the source document. Add signer, date, initials, or acknowledgment fields only where the Authorization Described text requires them.

Preserve the signed document and audit trail

Send Authorization Described only to the intended signer and retain the completed document with its signNow audit trail. The record should show the signing event, timestamps, signer activity, and final document version.

Review legal exceptions before electronic execution

Check ESIGN, UETA, state law, and any applicable industry rule before using an electronic signature. Excluded documents, notarization requirements, or consumer disclosure duties can change the permitted execution method.

Authorization Described troubleshooting

Resolve field, signer, plan, and legal-scope questions by checking the document itself, signNow configuration, and the governing authority.

Upload the source file again and compare its pages with signNow’s detected fields. Add or reposition fields manually before sending, because automatic detection does not determine whether the authorization’s legal language is complete.

Confirm the signer’s email address and resend the request from the document workflow. If stronger attribution is needed, configure SMS OTP or another available authentication control before the signer completes Authorization Described.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8/user/month with annual billing. The plan includes 100 signature invites per user annually; overage fees may apply.

Business Premium adds bulk send and costs $15/user/month with annual billing. Use it when the same Authorization Described document must be distributed to multiple designated signers.

signNow is ESIGN- and UETA-compliant, but compliance does not override exclusions such as wills, court orders, family-law decrees, or state notarization requirements. Confirm the applicable law before sending.

If Authorization Described contains protected health information, signNow lists HIPAA compliance with a business associate agreement required. Limit access, use appropriate authentication, and follow the organization’s HIPAA procedures.
