Par Forms
Use a Par Forms 2018 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Par Forms is and how it works
Par Forms is a business document workflow that lets an organization prepare, route, complete, and retain a form electronically. In signNow, the sender uploads the Par Forms file, reviews automatically detected fillable fields, assigns signer roles, and sends the document by email or signing link. Signers review the form, enter required information, and apply an electronic signature. The completed file and audit trail preserve the signing sequence, timestamps, and activity history. ESIGN and applicable state electronic-transactions law can support enforceability when intent, consent, attribution, and record reproduction requirements are met.

Par Forms troubleshooting
Resolve Par Forms issues by checking field detection, signer authentication, plan capabilities, electronic-record requirements, and the retention rule for the underlying record.
SignNow’s field-detection step may not identify every blank or label correctly in a scanned Par Forms file. Upload a clearer PDF, then manually review and place each required field before assigning a signer.
The signNow Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month with annual billing. It includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps; confirm the current plan before purchase.
SignNow’s Business Premium plan includes bulk send at $15 per user per month with annual billing. That feature is useful when the same Par Forms document must go to multiple recipients with individualized fields.
For U.S. transactions, ESIGN and applicable state law generally recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record reproduction requirements are satisfied. Consumer-facing records may also require disclosures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).
If Par Forms contains protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a business associate agreement. Confirm the BAA and apply healthcare-specific retention and access policies before sending.
A completed Par Forms document should be retained with its audit trail under the organization’s applicable record schedule. The correct period depends on the record type, industry rule, and state requirements; signNow does not determine that period.
