Note Any Covered Participant Over The Age Of 18 Requires A Separate Authorization Form To Be Completed
Use a Note Any Covered Participant Over The Age Of 18 Requires A Separate Authorization Form To Be Completed 2010 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What this separate authorization means
This note means that every covered participant who is over age 18 must complete a separate authorization form, rather than signing one shared authorization for multiple adults. The form identifies the individual participant, records that person’s consent, and creates a document that can be reviewed independently. In signNow, a sender uploads the authorization, places or detects fillable fields, assigns the correct participant, sends it for signature, and retains the completed document with its audit trail. Electronic signatures may be recognized under ESIGN and applicable state law when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are satisfied.
Who uses separate authorizations
Healthcare teams
Healthcare organizations can use separate authorizations for each adult participant when a consent or release workflow involves protected health information. The organization should identify the permitted disclosure, obtain the participant’s signature, and maintain access controls and records consistent with HIPAA obligations when PHI is involved.
Legal and service teams
Legal, education, and service providers can issue an individual authorization to each adult participant rather than combining unrelated consents. This approach clarifies whose permission was obtained, which disclosure or activity was authorized, and where the completed document belongs in the underlying matter’s records.
How separate authorizations work
Each covered participant over age 18 completes an individual authorization so consent and identity remain attributable.
Confirm eligibility: Confirm every covered participant is at least 18 years old. Create authorization: Prepare a separate authorization for each covered adult participant. Send separately: Send the authorization to the correct participant for review. Complete and retain: Collect the participant’s signature and retain the completed record.

Questions about separate authorizations
Resolve field assignment, identity, plan, privacy, and enforceability questions before completing this authorization workflow.
Upload the original authorization as a PDF, then use signNow’s field placement or auto-detection tools to check every required participant field. Confirm that the document identifies only one adult participant and that no fields from another participant remain before sending.
Create a separate recipient role for each covered participant over age 18. Do not assign multiple adults to one signature field. A distinct recipient and completed document preserves attribution and supports the individual-consent purpose of this authorization.
Use signNow authentication controls such as email verification or SMS OTP when identity assurance matters. For consumer-facing electronic records, review the ESIGN Act’s consent and access requirements under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c) before sending.
signNow’s Business plan includes audit trails and legally binding eSignatures at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Check the account plan before enabling advanced signer authentication or other higher-tier controls.
When the authorization concerns protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a business associate agreement. The organization remains responsible for determining whether the disclosure and authorization satisfy HIPAA and applicable state requirements.
ESIGN and UETA generally support electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. They do not override exclusions such as wills, court orders, or family law decrees, which may require another process.
