Statement Authorization
Use a Statement Authorization 2013 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Statement Authorization does
Statement Authorization is a written permission record that identifies who may take a defined action for another person or organization. It normally states the authorized activity, parties, limits, dates, and signatures. With signNow, a sender uploads the form, places or detects fillable fields, assigns signer roles, sends it for signature, and stores the completed record with an audit trail. U.S. electronic signatures may carry legal effect under ESIGN and applicable state law when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are demonstrated.
How Statement Authorization works
The signNow workflow turns a completed Statement Authorization into a traceable electronic record from preparation through archival.
Upload form: Upload the Statement Authorization Prepare fields: Detect or place fillable fields Send for signature: Assign parties and send Archive evidence: Store the signed record
What the Statement Authorization audit trail records
The audit trail documents the signing event separately from the authorization wording, helping reviewers connect the final record to signer activity.

Key Statement Authorization features
Statement Authorization workflows combine defined permission language with field preparation, signer routing, audit evidence, and controlled record storage.
Field preparation
Upload the Statement Authorization and use detected or placed fields for names, scope, dates, initials, and signatures without rebuilding the document.
Role assignment
Assign the authorizing party and recipient roles, then send each person only the fields required for the defined permission.
Remote signing
Collect signatures through signNow’s web or mobile experience while preserving the document’s authorization language and completion sequence.
Audit evidence
Capture delivery, signer actions, timestamps, and completion details in an audit trail linked to the signed Statement Authorization.
Reusable templates
Use shared templates to keep authorization wording, required fields, and signer order consistent across approved business workflows.
Controlled storage
Store completed authorization records in signNow or connected systems, with access controls matched to the transaction’s sensitivity.
Recommended Statement Authorization setup
Use defined signer authentication, recorded intent, controlled access, and retention rules that match the authorization’s transaction and applicable U.S. requirements.

Challenges when preparing Statement Authorization
Signers may overlook authorization limits, leaving the signed Statement Authorization broader than the underlying business purpose. Missing consent records can make it harder to show that a signer agreed to electronic delivery and signatures. Personal information may be copied into Statement Authorization records without access restrictions or a defined retention schedule. Different state rules can affect notarization, witnessing, and document exclusions when authorization supports a regulated transaction.

Statement Authorization use cases
These examples show how defined authorization records fit property and healthcare workflows without replacing transaction-specific legal review.
Real estate
Martin Properties uses online document execution for property-related workflows involving multiple parties and mobile work.
- Mobile and offline signing
- Documents returned to necessary parties
Founder Tim Martin says Martin Properties uses airSlate SignNow to process and execute documents online, including mobile and offline work. For a Statement Authorization workflow, the same capability can help property teams send a defined authorization, collect the required signature, and retain the completed record for the transaction.
Healthcare
Healthcare organizations can use signNow workflows when patient-facing forms require identified signers and controlled handling.
- Patient signature collection
- HIPAA-compliant workflows with a BAA
Fertility Centers of Illinois selected airSlate SignNow and cited its API and responsiveness. A healthcare team using Statement Authorization should separately confirm its covered-entity obligations, execute a business associate agreement when required, and limit the form’s contents to the authorization and necessary protected health information.
Statement Authorization troubleshooting
Use these answers to resolve field, signing, consent, compliance, and document-scope questions before completing Statement Authorization.
Upload the original Statement Authorization again and verify that detected fields match the printed labels. If detection misses a field, add it manually, assign the correct signer, and preview the completed document before sending.
Use signNow’s Business plan for legally binding eSignatures, templates, mobile apps, and audit trails. If the workflow requires bulk sending, Business Premium adds bulk send; plan pricing is $8 and $15 per user monthly when billed annually.
ESIGN and UETA provide a legal framework for electronic signatures, but enforceability still depends on intent, consent, attribution, and record retention. Keep the signed Statement Authorization and its audit trail together for later reproduction.
For consumer-facing electronic records, provide the ESIGN disclosure, demonstrate access to electronic records, and explain withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Obtain any additional consent required for the transaction.
A HIPAA workflow requires a business associate agreement when applicable and six-year documentation retention under 45 CFR §164.530(j). Limit Statement Authorization content to necessary protected health information and restrict access.
Do not use electronic signing alone for wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, or family law decrees excluded by ESIGN. Check the transaction’s state-law requirements before sending the form.
