What is a Informed Consent Form?
An informed consent form documents that a person understands a proposed procedure, treatment, study, or service — including its purpose, risks, benefits, and alternatives — and agrees to it voluntarily. It records who consented, to what, and when, so both parties have a clear, signed reference.
When to use it
- Before a medical, dental, or cosmetic procedure where the patient needs to understand and accept the risks
- Enrolling participants in a clinical trial or research study that requires documented consent
- Starting therapy, counseling, or telehealth where you disclose the nature and limits of the service
- Performing a treatment or service that carries known risks the recipient should acknowledge in writing
- Documenting consent for data collection, recording, or use of personal information tied to a service

Informed Consent Form FAQs
Is an electronically signed informed consent form legally binding?
In most cases, yes. Under U.S. laws like ESIGN and UETA — and eIDAS in the EU — electronic signatures are generally as valid and enforceable as ink signatures. Each signed form comes with a tamper-evident PDF and a Certificate of Completion documenting who signed and when. Some regulated contexts (for example, certain clinical trials) have specific consent requirements, so confirm what applies to your situation.
Does tuyaform replace legal or medical advice?
No. tuyaform gives you a tool to create, send, and sign consent forms, but it isn't a law firm or a healthcare provider and doesn't provide legal or medical advice. For high-stakes procedures, regulated research, or anything where requirements are unclear, have a qualified professional review your form.
What does the audit trail include?
Every completed form generates a Certificate of Completion that records the signer's details, timestamps, and signing activity. The signed PDF is tamper-evident, so any change after signing is detectable. This gives you a defensible record of exactly what was consented to and when.
Is tuyaform really free?
Yes. tuyaform is free forever and ad-supported. You can create, send, and sign informed consent forms with no per-document fees and no watermark on your signed PDF. You keep the signed document and its Certificate of Completion.
