Form 700 (2017)
Use a Form 700 2017 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Form 700 (2017) is
Form 700 (2017) is California’s Statement of Economic Interests form for covered public officials, candidates, and designated employees. It records the financial interests and disclosure schedules applicable to the filer’s position under California’s Political Reform Act and the relevant agency conflict-of-interest code. The filer must use the correct version, complete applicable schedules, sign the statement, and follow the responsible filing authority’s instructions. signNow can route and document an electronic signing workflow, but it does not decide who must file, which schedules apply, or where the completed statement must be submitted.

Troubleshoot Form 700 workflows
These answers separate signNow workflow issues from California filing requirements, which must be confirmed against the applicable Form 700 instructions.
Upload the official Form 700 (2017) PDF again, then inspect detected fields before sending. signNow Business includes templates and audit trails, but field recognition does not replace a filer’s review of every disclosure schedule.
Use signNow’s signer authentication options, including SMS verification where configured, and preserve the audit trail. ESIGN and UETA require intent, consent, attribution, and record retention; authentication supports attribution but does not determine filing eligibility.
A signNow Business subscription is $8 per user per month when billed annually; Business Premium is $15 and includes bulk send. The signNow 7-day trial requires no credit card, while competitor pricing is not verified here.
For Form 700 (2017) containing personal or financial information, restrict document access, confirm recipients, and retain the completed file securely. signNow states that its HIPAA compliance requires a BAA, but California filing rules still control disclosure obligations.
If the signer cannot open the invitation, resend it or provide an authorized signing link after confirming the recipient address. Do not forward a completed Form 700 casually; preserve the audit trail with the final document.
A signed signNow record does not establish that the correct Form 700 (2017) version was filed with the proper California office. Confirm the applicable FPPC instruction, filing channel, deadline, and any required public disclosure separately.
