I-693 Form
Use a I 693 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What the I-693 Form records
The I-693 Form documents the results of an immigration medical examination for use in a U.S. immigration process. A USCIS-designated civil surgeon completes the medical examination sections, records vaccination and health findings, signs the form, and seals or submits it according to USCIS instructions. An applicant or authorized representative may prepare identifying information and route the document electronically, but signNow completion does not itself submit the form to USCIS. Verify the current USCIS edition, civil-surgeon requirements, delivery method, and filing instructions before relying on an electronically completed record.
Who works with the I-693 Form
Applicants and civil surgeons
Applicants and authorized representatives can enter identifying information, review assigned fields, and receive a completed copy. The civil surgeon remains responsible for the medical examination, required findings, vaccination information, and professional certification. signNow helps coordinate the document but does not replace USCIS instructions or medical authority.
Immigration support teams
Immigration attorneys, accredited representatives, clinics, and employers supporting immigration processes may route I-693 Form records through controlled workflows. They should limit access to authorized personnel, preserve the audit trail, and confirm whether USCIS requires an original, sealed envelope, or another delivery method.

I-693 Form completion challenges
Using an outdated I-693 edition can create field mismatches, so verify the current USCIS form version before uploading and routing the document. Leaving the civil surgeon’s required sections incomplete can delay review, even when the applicant’s personal information is accurate. Sending medical information to an unintended recipient can expose protected health information and create avoidable privacy and access-control issues. Treating signNow completion as USCIS filing can create a submission gap because electronic signing and government acceptance are separate requirements.

I-693 Form troubleshooting questions
Resolve field, signer, privacy, and record-handling questions before submitting an I-693 Form to USCIS.
Upload the current I-693 edition to signNow, use auto-detect fields, and confirm every USCIS field before routing it to the civil surgeon or applicant.
signNow Business includes templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8/user/month billed annually. Confirm that the selected plan supports your routing and retention requirements before sending.
For health information, signNow states HIPAA compliance requires a business associate agreement. Configure access controls, limit recipients, and confirm your organization’s privacy obligations before sending I-693 records.
ESIGN and UETA support electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. USCIS filing instructions and the civil surgeon’s requirements still control whether electronic completion is accepted.
Use signNow’s SMS authentication or stronger signer authentication where available, then review the completion certificate and audit trail. Authentication does not replace USCIS identity or medical-examination requirements.
If the signer cannot open the document, check the recipient email, resend the invite, or create a controlled signing link. Keep the original I-693 file and audit trail together after completion.
