electronic form

Fillable computer paperwork

Electronic form refers to information stored or transmitted digitally rather than on paper.

Documents, records, and applications exist in electronic form when they're files on a computer or server: Please submit your tax return in electronic form.

The phrase often appears in legal and bureaucratic contexts distinguishing digital submissions from physical ones: The contract is valid whether signed in ink or electronic form.
