Disclosure Statement Form
Use a Disclosure Statement Form template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Disclosure Statement Form does
A Disclosure Statement Form records that a person received or acknowledged specified information before a transaction, service, or relationship proceeds. Its exact fields and legal effect depend on the issuing organization, transaction, and applicable state or federal law. With signNow, a sender uploads the form, reviews detected fillable fields, adds signer and date fields, and sends it for completion. The signer reviews the disclosure, provides consent where required, and signs electronically. The completed form, timestamps, signer activity, and audit trail are retained together. ESIGN and UETA can support electronic records when their requirements are met, but they do not override document-specific exclusions or state rules.
Business types that use the form
Disclosure Statement Form workflows vary by industry, signer relationship, and the sensitivity of the information being acknowledged.
A solo real estate practitioner can send disclosure acknowledgments with lease or purchase paperwork, collect signatures remotely, and retain the completed record for the transaction file without coordinating an in-person paper exchange. A healthcare practice can route patient-facing disclosures and administrative consent records through a controlled workflow, while applying HIPAA safeguards when the document contains protected health information. An enterprise compliance team can standardize disclosure templates, delegate sending to approved departments, and use audit trails to demonstrate signer actions across distributed U.S. operations.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Privacy pitfalls to prevent
Place only the necessary personal information in the Disclosure Statement Form and restrict access to staff handling the related transaction or service. Capture the signer’s electronic consent before signature when the record is consumer-facing and preserve evidence that the signer could access the electronic format. Use role-based permissions so unauthorized users cannot edit, send, download, or delete completed disclosure records. Export the audit trail with the signed form instead of retaining only a signature image without event history.
Disclosure Statement Form troubleshooting
Resolve field, signer, consent, plan, retention, and legal-scope questions before treating the completed form as final evidence.
Upload the original Disclosure Statement Form again, then review signNow’s detected fields before sending. The Business plan includes templates and audit trails, but field detection does not determine whether the form’s legal language is complete. Confirm required disclosures manually before routing.
The signer can use an email link or configured SMS authentication. If stronger identity proofing is required by policy, use available advanced signer authentication on an appropriate signNow plan and document the chosen method in the workflow record.
Consumer-facing electronic records require consent and access disclosures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Provide the paper-record option, confirm electronic access, and explain withdrawal procedures before obtaining the signer’s electronic signature.
The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes legally binding eSignatures and audit trails. Business Premium is listed at $15 and adds bulk send, while Enterprise is listed at $30 and adds advanced signer authentication.
A signed Disclosure Statement Form can be downloaded with its certificate of completion and audit trail. Store both with the underlying transaction record, because the audit trail documents signing events rather than replacing the form’s substantive disclosures.
ESIGN and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are satisfied. They do not cover wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, or certain family-law documents.
