Can this form be signed electronically?

Yes. Electronic signatures are legally enforceable under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA where adopted, provided intent, consent, attribution, and accurate record retention are met.

Is notarization typically required?

Not usually for internal coordinator assignments. Notarization is only necessary when state law or organizational policy mandates it; remote notarization rules vary by state.

What if the coordinator's name differs from HR records?

Mismatched names can block access provisioning. Correct the name to match HR records or attach legal documentation that verifies the name change.

How do I store the signed form securely?

Save signed copies in your secure personnel records system with access controls, encryption at rest, and retention metadata aligned with IRS, HIPAA, or state rules as applicable.

Who can revoke coordinator authority?

Typically the appointing supervisor or HR; document revocation in writing with date and update access control systems immediately.

What if a required training entry is missing?

Treat missing training as noncompliance. Restrict coordinator duties until training is completed and update the form to reflect completion dates and certificates.
