    Update (December 10, 2019): JotForm Accessible Forms is available.

    We are excited to announce JotForm Accessible Forms. Now you can create Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 Level A and Level AA compliant forms.

    Here is our detailed user guide: How Can I Make My Forms Accessible

    You can also check JotForm Accessible Forms to learn more about our accessibility features.

    We don't issue VPAT certificates. Let us know if you have more questions.

    Good afternoon, if you don't have the VPAT do you have any other accessibility documents you can share.  The Federal 508 and Texas laws require us to have documentation.

    I am sorry, but I don't think we have any. Let me raise this to our backend team. There is no assurance that we can have this in short time or if we will comply with it, but as soon as we have it, we will let you know through this thread.

    I have tried a form before using a screen reader, and it worked great without any issues. This means to me that our forms are readily accessible to people with disabilities (based on the act). We just don't have the certification yet. Again, we will let you know.

    As we were informed by higher-up, we unfortunately do not have a such document to provide you. However, it is in our mid-term agenda. 

    If there is anything we can do for you, please do let us know. We would be pleased to assist you for any issue you may have.

    UPDATE: We are now supporting accessible forms.

    We're happy to announce to you that JotForm now lets you create forms that are Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA compliant!

    To make your form accessible, open it on the form builder, then go to:

    1) Settings

    2) Click on the Form Settings.

    3) Click on the Show More Options.

    4) Switch the Form Accessibility option to Enabled.

    Our form builder will then analyze your form. If any accessibility issues are detected, warn you on the aspects that should be fixed to make the form accessible.

    After that, all you need to do is adjust the form to address detected issues if there are any until all of the issues are resolved.

    Also, please note that if your form is created in the old(Legacy) layout, you will see an Accessibility Enhancer Widget added to your form. This widget will automatically make your classic form more accessible, by improving the appearance of form validation warnings, and also adds ARIA(Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite) attributes to your form. This widget is not needed for Card Layout forms. You may optionally consider selecting one of the ready-to-use accessible form themes. They are marked with a little human body icon in the form designer.
