Star Referral
Use a Star Referral 2012 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Star Referral is and does
Star Referral is a business referral document used to record a referral, the parties involved, and the action requested from the receiving organization. In signNow, the sender uploads the Star Referral, identifies its fillable areas, assigns fields to the appropriate signer, and sends it electronically. The recipient reviews the referral details, provides the requested information, and signs when authorized. signNow then stores the completed document with an audit trail. Electronic execution may be recognized under ESIGN and applicable state law, subject to the document’s purpose and any required consent or formalities.
Who benefits from Star Referral workflows
Star Referral supports referral exchanges that require identifiable participants, documented review, and a retained electronic signature record.
Solo consultants can send a Star Referral to a prospective partner, collect the requested details, and retain the signed record without maintaining paper copies. Real estate and legal service practices can route referrals between staff, clients, and outside professionals while preserving signer order and a searchable audit trail. Enterprise operations teams can standardize Star Referral templates, delegate sending, and connect completed records with Salesforce, NetSuite, or Microsoft 365 workflows.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Legal standing for Star Referral
A signed Star Referral may be admissible when the record shows signer intent, electronic consent, attribution, and reliable retention and reproduction. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable state law generally support electronic business records, but wills, certain court orders, and family-law decrees remain excluded from ESIGN’s coverage.

Privacy pitfalls in Star Referral workflows
Referral details may expose names, contact information, case context, or other personal data when shared with unintended recipients. A signer may complete Star Referral without a clearly documented electronic-record consent process for a consumer-facing transaction. Overbroad workspace permissions can let unauthorized users view, edit, send, or download completed referral records. Using an outdated referral template can leave required fields, disclosures, or recipient instructions incomplete.

Star Referral troubleshooting questions
Resolve field, consent, routing, plan, and retention questions before treating a signed Star Referral as a complete business record.
Upload the current Star Referral PDF and use signNow’s field detection, then inspect every detected field before assigning recipients. The Business plan includes templates and audit trails, helping preserve a repeatable referral workflow without assuming the source PDF is perfectly tagged.
Check that every required field is assigned to the intended participant and that recipient order matches the referral process. signNow supports sequential routing, while Business Premium adds bulk send for repeated documents; neither substitutes for reviewing field assignments before sending.
For consumer-facing electronic records, provide the required ESIGN disclosure, explain the paper-record option, confirm electronic access, and document withdrawal procedures. signNow can capture signatures and audit events, but the sender remains responsible for the disclosure process under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).
A referral signature does not cure a document excluded from ESIGN, such as a will, codicil, certain court filing, or family-law decree. Confirm the Star Referral’s purpose and applicable state requirements before relying on electronic execution.
Business pricing is $8/user/month when billed annually, while month-to-month pricing is $20/user/month. The plan includes 100 signature invites per user per year; additional invitations may incur overage fees, so monitor usage for recurring referral programs.
Export the completed Star Referral and its audit trail from the signNow workspace, then retain both in an access-controlled repository. The applicable retention period depends on the underlying business record and state or industry rules, not solely on signNow.
