Guardian signing for minors

Web Mobile

How it works

A document can carry fields assigned to a guardian as well as the member. When the document is signed, the guardian’s relationship to the member is recorded alongside the signature.

Setting it up

Build the document

Include the clauses your guardian needs to acknowledge.

Place guardian fields

When placing fields, set the assignee to guardian for the signature, printed name, and any acknowledgment fields.

Assign it to your youth plan

Use Required for specific plans so it only applies to youth members.

What gets recorded

The guardian’s signature
Their relationship to the member — parent, legal guardian, etc.
Timestamp, IP address, and device
The generated PDF

That relationship field is the part that matters if the document is ever tested. A signature with no recorded relationship is weaker evidence.

Notes

Consider capturing the guardian’s contact details as a custom member field on the youth member’s record.
Age thresholds and what your waiver must contain vary by jurisdiction — this is a tooling article, not legal advice.
