Char001
Use a Char001 2018 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Char001 is and how it works
Char001 is a U.S. form that can be prepared, routed, signed, and retained electronically when its transaction permits electronic records. In signNow, upload the Char001 file, review automatically detected fields, add signer and date fields, then send it to the intended recipients. Signers review the document and apply an electronic signature associated with the signing event. signNow records the workflow in an audit trail and provides the completed document for download. Legal effect depends on intent, consent, attribution, reliable reproduction, and any form-specific federal or state requirements.
Who benefits from Char001 workflows
Char001 workflows can serve individual operators, regulated departments, and enterprise administrators when the form’s underlying transaction permits electronic signing.
A small U.S. business can upload Char001, assign the relevant signer, and keep the completed document with its audit trail without building a custom signing system. A regulated team can route Char001 through controlled user permissions, stronger signer authentication, and documented retention procedures when the transaction involves sensitive or regulated information. An enterprise operations group can reuse an approved Char001 template, connect sending to systems such as Salesforce or NetSuite, and monitor completion across distributed teams.
These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Mobile options for Char001
Char001 can be handled through signNow mobile apps on iOS and Android. Mobile workflows can support offline signing and camera-based document capture, allowing a sender or signer to prepare the form away from a desktop. Confirm device access and connectivity before sending the completed record.
Mobile apps iOS and Android apps Offline mode Offline signing available Document capture Camera-based capture
For controlled deployments, administrators should manage mobile access, signer authentication, and storage permissions through organizational policy. Where Char001 contains regulated information, confirm the applicable retention, disclosure, and access requirements before enabling offline work or camera capture on managed devices.
Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives
Organizations seek alternatives when they need different pricing models, stronger native automation, simpler bulk affidavit workflows, or more flexible identity-verification options than those available in a legacy envelope-based vendor.

Privacy and disclosure issues
Char001 may contain names, addresses, tax details, or other personal data that should not be exposed through unrestricted links or unnecessary recipients. A signer may complete Char001 without documented electronic-record consent when ESIGN consumer disclosure requirements apply to the transaction. Shared accounts or overly broad permissions can make it difficult to prove which authorized person accessed or sent Char001. Automatic field detection can miss a required Char001 field, leaving an incomplete record unless the sender reviews every page.
Char001 troubleshooting questions
These answers address field detection, plan selection, electronic-signature validity, protected information, and preservation of the completed Char001 record.
Upload Char001 to signNow, inspect the automatically detected fields, and add missing fields manually. Automatic detection is a starting point, not a substitute for comparing every field with the original document before sending it.
The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month when billed annually and includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, and audit trails. Business Premium is $15 per user per month annually and adds bulk send and kiosk mode.
Business Premium includes bulk send, while the Business plan does not list that feature in the provided plan details. Select Business Premium only when Char001 must be distributed repeatedly to multiple recipients or signer groups.
signNow states ESIGN and UETA compliance for its platform. Legal effectiveness still depends on intent, consent, attribution, and record retention under 15 U.S.C. chapter 96 and applicable state law.
For Char001 containing protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a business associate agreement. Confirm that a BAA is in place before using the workflow for HIPAA-covered records.
Export the signed Char001 document and its audit trail after completion. The audit trail records signing activity, while the applicable legal or industry rule—not the signNow plan—determines how long the record must be retained.
