Frequently Asked Questions
What is Informed Consent?
Informed consent is a principle in healthcare and refers to the law that a patient should receive sufficient information before undergoing medical treatment. Since minors do not have the legal right to consent to their own treatment, their legal guardians have to do it for them.

Does a Medical Consent Form Have to be Notarized?
Yes, in most cases, you should look for a licensed attorney, notary public, or law firm specializing in notarizing minors’ medical consent forms. Does that mean you cannot use an online medical consent form? Not at all, but you’ll need to speak with an expert on making the form legally binding. On 123FormBuilder, you can print the collected consent and take the document to a notary to sign it with a witness and the child’s guardian.
