DS120 Form
Use a Ds120 Form template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What DS120 Form is and how it works
DS120 Form is a document template that can be prepared, routed, completed, and electronically signed through a controlled signNow workflow. Upload the source file, review any detected fillable fields, add or correct text, signature, initials, and date fields, then assign each field to its signer. signNow sends the prepared document for completion and records the signing event in an audit trail. The exact purpose, issuing authority, required fields, and filing instructions for DS120 Form must come from the form itself or its governing agency.

DS120 Form troubleshooting questions
Resolve DS120 Form issues by checking the source file, signer routing, authentication, plan limits, and applicable electronic-record requirements.
Upload the original DS120 Form PDF again and inspect detected fields before adding replacements. If the file is scanned or visually complex, place fields manually, assign each one to the correct signer, and test the prepared workflow before sending.
A recipient can usually open a signing request from the delivered invitation without creating a separate account. If access fails, confirm the email address, resend the invitation, or provide a controlled signing link through the configured signNow workflow.
Use signNow’s SMS OTP or another available authentication control when the DS120 Form contains information requiring stronger signer attribution. Authentication supports evidence, but the form’s own agency or transaction rules still govern acceptance.
The Business plan is listed at $8/user/month when billed annually and includes legally binding eSignatures and audit trails. Business Premium is listed at $15/user/month annually and adds bulk send; verify the plan against your sending volume.
signNow states that paid plans include 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees for subscription plans. The Site License uses $1.50 per signature invite and is intended for usage-based volume; confirm current terms before selecting a plan.
For consumer-facing records, ESIGN requires disclosure of the right to paper records, electronic-access capability, and withdrawal procedures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Apply those requirements when DS120 Form is used with consumers, rather than treating an audit trail alone as sufficient.
