Completed And Submitted
Use a Completed And Submitted 2018 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Completed And Submitted means
Completed And Submitted describes a document that has been filled out, signed or approved where applicable, and delivered as a final record. In signNow, the sender uploads the source file, reviews automatically detected fields, assigns recipients, and sends the document for completion. Signers open the invitation or link, review their assigned fields, and apply an electronic signature. After all required actions are finished, signNow provides the completed document and audit trail. Legal effect depends on signer intent, consent, attribution, record retention, and any document-specific exclusions under ESIGN, UETA, or state law.
Who uses Completed And Submitted
Business agreements
Businesses use Completed And Submitted for contracts, NDAs, approvals, invoices, and consent records when multiple parties need a clear electronic completion record. signNow lets teams upload the source document, assign signer roles, collect signatures, and preserve the completed PDF with an audit trail for later review.
Industry workflows
Healthcare, education, financial, legal, and construction teams can adapt the workflow to their own documents. Regulated users must separately apply HIPAA, FERPA, financial-record, confidentiality, and state-law requirements; signNow’s platform controls do not replace an organization’s retention or disclosure policy.
How Completed And Submitted works
The signNow workflow moves the document from upload through field review, signer delivery, electronic completion, and auditable storage.
Upload document: Upload the Completed And Submitted file. Check fields: Review detected fields and required entries. Send for signing: Assign signers and send invitations. Complete record: Collect signatures and store the audit trail.

Legal standing for completed records
A completed electronic record can support a U.S. transaction when the signer demonstrates intent, consents to electronic records, can be attributed to the signature, and the record remains accurately reproducible. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures, subject to exclusions such as wills and court filings.

Challenges when completing and submitting
Auto-detected fields can miss labels or signature areas in scanned copies, leaving a required entry unavailable to the intended signer. Sending the wrong document version can create conflicting completed records and weaken evidence that the signer approved the final text. A recipient may open a signing link without understanding electronic-record consent, affecting the evidence needed for a consumer transaction. Unrestricted access to completed files can expose personal, financial, or health information beyond the people who need it.
Troubleshooting completed and submitted documents
Resolve field-detection, signer-access, plan, authentication, and compliance questions before treating a Completed And Submitted record as final.
Why did the completed document lose a required field? Upload the original file and review signNow’s detected fields before sending. Auto-detection may miss fields in scanned or irregular layouts, so confirm names, dates, signatures, and required fields manually.
Can a Business plan send completed documents in bulk? No. signNow lists bulk send under Business Premium at $15/user/month when billed annually. Business is listed at $8/user/month annually and includes templates and audit trails, but bulk send requires the higher plan.
How can I prove who signed Completed And Submitted? Use signNow’s audit trail, which records signing activity and timestamps. For stronger attribution, configure available signer authentication, such as SMS verification or advanced authentication on Enterprise, while maintaining the completed record.
Does an electronic signature make every completed document enforceable? No. ESIGN and UETA generally recognize qualifying electronic signatures, but exceptions include wills, court orders, family law decrees, and other listed records. Confirm the document’s state and federal requirements before sending.
What should I do when a signer cannot open the document? Confirm the recipient address, resend the invitation, or generate a signing link. The signer can often sign as a guest, but device, browser, authentication, or access restrictions may still prevent completion.
Can signNow store a completed copy for regulated work? signNow states that its platform is HIPAA compliant when a BAA is required and certified under SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. Your organization must still apply its own retention, access, and disclosure policies.
