Standard Form 25B Continuation Sheet For Standard Forms

Use a Standard Form 25B Continuation Sheet for Standard Forms template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this continuation sheet does

Standard Form 25B Continuation Sheet For Standard Forms is an attachment used when the primary standard form does not provide enough space for required entries. It extends the relevant section without replacing the underlying form. In signNow, upload the continuation sheet with its related standard form, review or add fillable fields, assign each signer, and send the package electronically. Signers review the linked records, complete assigned fields, and sign where required. The completed PDF and audit trail preserve the submitted information, signer actions, timestamps, and document history for later review.

Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives

Organizations seek alternatives when they need different pricing models, stronger native automation, simpler bulk affidavit workflows, or more flexible identity-verification options than those available in a legacy envelope-based vendor.

Challenges when completing this sheet

  • A continuation sheet can lose context when its referenced standard form is stored separately or renamed without a clear document identifier.
  • Manually copying entries between the standard form and continuation sheet can introduce inconsistent names, dates, amounts, or section references.
  • A signer may complete the continuation sheet without signing the primary form, leaving the package incomplete for review.
  • Unrestricted sharing can expose information written on the continuation sheet to people who do not need access.

Questions about completing this sheet

These answers address field preparation, signer access, electronic consent, plan capabilities, and retention decisions for the continuation sheet.

Upload the original PDF again and confirm that the file opens before field placement. signNow templates and document fields can preserve the continuation sheet layout, but a damaged or password-protected file may require correction first.

Open the document editor and inspect automatically detected fields before sending. Add or reposition signature, initials, date, and text fields manually when the continuation sheet uses nonstandard labels or scanned content.

A signer can usually review and sign through the email invitation without creating an account. Require SMS OTP or another available authentication method when the continuation sheet contains information needing stronger signer attribution.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8 per user per month with annual billing. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15 per user per month annually.

For consumer-facing records, obtain electronic-record consent and provide the disclosures required by ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). The continuation sheet itself does not replace consent, identity, or record-retention requirements.

signNow provides audit trails and completion records, while the applicable record rule determines retention. For example, HIPAA-covered records require six years under 45 CFR §164.530(j); do not apply that period unless PHI is involved.
