SignNow: Inviting Recipients to FDA-Regulated Documents

Once a document has been uploaded and prepared, decide how the document will be sent out to recipients.  Remember that signing FDA-regulated documents with an electronic signature requires two levels of authentication.  Recipients need to enter the sender-supplied password and create a free SignNow account, or log into their existing account, at the time of signing to ensure compliance.

If you haven’t prepared your document, reference Uploading and Preparing a Document.  

Remember that you must also assign a Password before sending the invite. 

Once you have your document prepared, you have two options for sending it:

  1. If there is a single recipient, please follow Single Recipient.  These steps assign the recipient and customize the contents of the email to be sent to the recipient.
  2. If there are multiple recipients, please follow Multiple Recipients.  
    Create Invite Link and Bulk Invite are not available for FDA-regulated documents. 

When you follow these steps for single or multiple recipients, if you click Send Invite and you have not set up authentication, you will receive this message:
Sending Invite without Authentication

You must set up authentication first.
