The DGS Forms Management Center helps Forms Representatives manage their department’s forms effectively. They offer tools, resources, and guidance to simplify this process. One key service is teaching agencies how to use Electronic Signatures (e-Signatures). These allow people to sign forms electronically, making the process faster and more convenient. They reduce paperwork and streamline approvals. This helps agencies save time and resources.

Another important focus is ensuring forms comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). ADA compliance ensures that forms are accessible to people with disabilities. This includes users who rely on screen readers or other assistive technologies. By following ADA guidelines, agencies can ensure everyone has equal access to their forms. 

The DGS Forms Management Center also oversees the Statewide Forms Directory. This directory contains over 3,000 forms used by state agencies. It acts as a one-stop shop for state employees and the public. For example, users can find forms to apply for state services or complete tasks with the state of California. Regular updates ensure the directory remains accurate and easy to use.
