Grading Certificate
Use a Grading Certificate 2015 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What is a Grading Certificate?
A Grading Certificate is a record used to document an assessment, grade, or evaluation and identify the people responsible for completing or approving it. In signNow, upload the certificate, confirm or add fillable fields, assign recipients, and send it for review or electronic signature. Each signer receives the document through an email invitation or signing link, completes the assigned fields, and receives a completed copy. The audit trail records relevant signing activity, helping preserve evidence of the certificate’s completion and handling.
Who uses Grading Certificate
Evaluation teams
Appraisers and evaluators can complete certificate fields, attach supporting details, and route the final record for review or signature.
Operational teams
Construction and education organizations can use certificates to document grades, inspections, assessments, or approvals with an identifiable completion record.
Who benefits from Grading Certificate
Independent appraisers use a Grading Certificate to record assessed details, supporting evidence, and conclusions before sharing a completed certificate with a client, lender, insurer, or other requesting party through a controlled signNow workflow. Construction, education, and compliance teams use Grading Certificates when a documented grade, inspection result, or evaluation must move between several reviewers with clear signer attribution and a retrievable completion record.

Features that support Grading Certificate
signNow combines document preparation, signer routing, audit evidence, integrations, and security controls for organizations handling completed Grading Certificates.
Reusable template
Upload a Grading Certificate, place or confirm fields, and send it to named recipients without recreating the document. Reusable templates help teams preserve the same certificate structure across repeated evaluations.
Audit evidence
A completed certificate can retain signer identity, timestamps, access events, and action history in an audit trail. This gives reviewers a clearer record of who signed and when the certificate was completed.
Signer routing
Email invitations and shareable signing links let recipients review and sign from the channel assigned to them. SMS authentication can add an identity check when the certificate requires stronger signer verification.
Plan options
Business, Business Premium, and Enterprise plans provide progressively broader workflow capabilities. Business Premium adds bulk send, while Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication for higher-volume or controlled certificate processes.
Connected records
Completed certificates can be routed into named systems such as Google Drive, Box, Salesforce, NetSuite, or Procore. This reduces manual copying after approval while preserving the signed record for the receiving team.
Protected documents
signNow encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2 or 1.3 and at rest with AES-256. Its compliance portfolio includes ESIGN/UETA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR controls.

Legal standing of Grading Certificate
A Grading Certificate may be admissible as a business record when the parties show intent, consent, signer attribution, and reliable retention and reproduction. ESIGN and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures, but wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, and certain family-law filings remain excluded under 15 U.S.C. §7003.
Grading Certificate troubleshooting
Use the issue-specific checks below to prepare, route, sign, and retain a Grading Certificate through signNow without losing signer or document evidence.
Upload the original Grading Certificate as a PDF or supported document, then confirm that signNow detected the intended fields. If fields are missing, add signature, date, initials, or text fields manually before sending the certificate for completion.
The signNow Business plan includes templates, audit trails, and legally binding eSignatures at $8 per user monthly when billed annually. Business Premium adds bulk send at $15, while Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication at $30.
For a certificate involving protected health information, use a signNow configuration with a required HIPAA business associate agreement. HIPAA compliance is available with a BAA; do not treat an ordinary signature workflow as sufficient by itself.
ESIGN and UETA generally support electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are demonstrated. For consumer-facing records, provide the ESIGN disclosure and confirm electronic access under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).
Use email delivery or a generated signing link, and add SMS authentication when stronger identity evidence is needed. The completed certificate and signNow audit trail should be retained together for later review.
Subscription plans include 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees. The Site License uses $1.50 per signature invite and is designed for unlimited users handling 1,000 or more documents annually.
