Submittal Form

Get a Submittal Sample Form 2012 template with airSlate SignNow and complete it in a few simple clicks.

What is a Submittal Form?

A Submittal Form is a business document used to collect required information, approvals, or signatures before a submission is accepted. Its exact fields and filing requirements depend on the organization or authority requesting it, so the sender should verify the applicable instructions before routing it. In signNow, upload the form, review detected fillable fields, assign recipients, and send it for completion. Signers can authenticate, review, and e-sign electronically. signNow records timestamps, actions, and document history in an audit trail, then provides the completed record for retention.

Who uses Submittal Form

Business operations

Contracts, approvals, and vendor submissions can be routed to external signers with assigned fields and a recorded completion history.

Regulated workflows

Patient, client, or employee forms can be completed electronically when the requesting organization permits e-signatures and applies required privacy controls.

Who benefits from Submittal Form

Submittal Form is useful wherever a business must collect information, signatures, approvals, or supporting records from people in different locations.

  • A solo real estate practitioner can prepare a Submittal Form, send it to a client, and retain the signed record without arranging an office meeting.
  • A healthcare practice can route a Submittal Form to patients or authorized representatives while applying signer authentication and HIPAA-compliant controls when protected health information is involved.
  • An enterprise operations team can standardize Submittal Form routing through shared templates, role-based access, audit trails, and integrations with its existing business systems.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Best practices for Submittal Form

Accurate field mapping, appropriate authentication, and documented retention help preserve the Submittal Form’s usefulness after signing.

Confirm the requesting authority’s instructions

Before uploading, confirm the requesting organization’s instructions, required attachments, signer order, and whether notarization or an original signature is required. A platform workflow cannot replace a statutory filing method or correct incomplete information supplied by the signer.

Review every detected field

Use field labels that match the Submittal Form’s source instructions, and assign each field to the person responsible for providing it. Review automatically detected fields manually because ambiguous lines, checkboxes, and signature areas may require correction.

Match authentication to risk

Choose signer authentication that matches the information’s sensitivity. For consumer-facing records, provide the electronic-record disclosure and confirm access requirements under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c), before requesting an electronic signature.

Archive the signed record and audit trail

Export the signed Submittal Form and completion evidence together, then retain them under the organization’s documented schedule. For regulated records, apply the governing rule, such as HIPAA’s six-year requirement under 45 CFR §164.530(j).

Troubleshoot Submittal Form signing

Resolve field, signer, plan, compliance, consent, and document-scope questions before treating a Submittal Form as complete.

Upload the source PDF again and inspect whether its text and signature areas are readable. signNow’s detected fields still require human review; add or reposition fields manually before sending the Submittal Form.

Open the recipient’s assigned fields and verify the signer order, email address, and required status. An unassigned or optional field can leave the Submittal Form incomplete even when another recipient has already signed.

Business costs $8/user/month with annual billing and includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, and audit trails. Business Premium costs $15/user/month annually and adds bulk send and kiosk mode.

signNow states that HIPAA compliance requires a business associate agreement. If the Submittal Form contains protected health information, execute the BAA and configure access, authentication, and retention controls before sending.

For consumer-facing electronic records, provide the disclosure and access information required by ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). signNow’s audit trail helps document the transaction, but it does not replace the required disclosure process.

Electronic signatures generally have legal effect under ESIGN and applicable state law, including UETA or New York’s ESRA. Exclusions include wills, family-law decrees, and certain court filings, which require separate legal review.
