Sworn Statement Form
Use a Sworn Statement template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What a Sworn Statement Form does
A Sworn Statement Form records a person’s factual declaration made under oath or penalty of perjury. The signer identifies the subject of the statement, provides the requested facts, confirms that the information is truthful, and signs and dates the document. Requirements depend on the transaction and applicable state law; some statements also require notarization or witnesses. For business records, signNow can route the prepared statement for electronic signature, capture signer actions and timestamps, and preserve the completed document and audit trail for later review.

Sworn Statement Form troubleshooting
Resolve field, signer, consent, compliance, and retention questions before relying on a completed Sworn Statement Form.
Upload the original PDF again and confirm that the file opens without password protection. signNow can detect fillable fields, but you should review every field before sending because a sworn declaration may require specific dates, initials, or signature locations.
Use signNow’s signer roles and field assignments to place the declaration, signature, and date fields with the correct person. A reusable template can preserve those assignments for later statements, while the sender should verify each recipient before delivery.
For consumer-facing records, obtain electronic consent and provide the disclosures required by ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), including access to electronic records and the ability to withdraw consent. signNow’s audit trail records signing activity but does not replace those disclosures.
Business includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, and mobile apps at $8 per user per month with annual billing. It includes 100 signature invites per user annually; overage fees may apply, so review usage before sending large batches.
HIPAA-covered workflows require a business associate agreement with signNow. The platform states that HIPAA compliance is available with a BAA; your organization remains responsible for limiting protected health information and setting appropriate access controls.
A signed electronic statement may be recognized under ESIGN and UETA when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are met. Wills, court orders, and other statutory exclusions remain outside that general rule, so confirm the document’s legal category first.
