Frequently asked questions
Are electronic consent forms legally valid?

Can I send consent forms to multiple people at once?
Yes. With SignOwl's bulk send feature, you can send the same consent form to hundreds of recipients simultaneously. Each person gets their own signing link.
How do I verify a consent form was signed?
Every signed document includes a tamper-proof audit trail with timestamps, IP addresses, and a SHA-256 hash. Anyone can verify authenticity at the verification link.
