History Authorization
Use a History Authorization 2014 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What History Authorization does
History Authorization is a written permission form that allows a named person or organization to request, review, use, or disclose specified historical information. The signer identifies the authorized parties, the information covered, the permitted purpose, and any duration or limits stated on the form. In signNow, the sender uploads the authorization, reviews automatically detected fillable fields, assigns signer fields, and sends it for signature. The completed PDF and audit trail preserve evidence of intent, signer activity, timestamps, and document handling. State law and the form’s subject determine whether additional consent or notarization applies.
Who uses History Authorization
Healthcare teams
Healthcare organizations can use History Authorization for patient-related permissions and consent workflows, while HIPAA-covered records require safeguards and a documented retention policy under 45 CFR §164.530(j).
Business and legal teams
Legal, financial, and administrative teams can use it for written authorizations, client permissions, and internal approvals when the parties consent to electronic records and the document is not excluded by ESIGN.

A signed History Authorization may be admissible when the signer demonstrates intent, consents to electronic records, can be identified, and the record remains accurate and reproducible under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and applicable state law such as UETA. Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, certain court orders, and family-law decrees remain excluded.

History Authorization troubleshooting
Resolve preparation, consent, authentication, storage, and plan-configuration issues before treating a History Authorization as complete.
Upload the original History Authorization PDF, confirm signNow’s detected fields, and add any missing signer, date, or acknowledgment fields before sending. Auto-detection assists preparation but does not determine whether the authorization is legally sufficient or whether notarization is required under applicable state law.
On the Business plan, signNow provides legally binding eSignatures, templates, and audit trails. Review the document’s legal requirements separately, because ESIGN and UETA establish electronic-signature rules but do not make excluded documents such as wills electronically valid.
Use signNow SMS authentication or another available signer-authentication control when the authorization contains sensitive personal information. For consumer-facing records, provide the ESIGN disclosure, explain the paper-record option, and maintain procedures for withdrawing electronic consent under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).
If the authorization concerns protected health information, configure a HIPAA workflow and obtain a business associate agreement where required. signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a BAA; the organization remains responsible for its privacy, access, and retention procedures.
A completed History Authorization should be stored with its final signed PDF, certificate of completion, and audit trail. Apply the retention period for the underlying record, such as six years for HIPAA-required policies and procedures under 45 CFR §164.530(j).
Business Premium includes bulk send, while Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication and other enterprise controls. If one authorization fails to send, verify signer email addresses, required fields, routing order, and the plan features assigned to your account.
