Why We Built ConsentForms.xyz
Every researcher, journalist, podcaster, and UX designer who conducts interviews needs a consent form — but finding a good one used to mean hours of searching, downloading bloated Word documents, or paying for a subscription just to get a clean template.
We built ConsentForms.xyz to fix that. Our goal is simple: give every professional free access to ready-to-use, legally structured consent form templates they can fill out online and download as a PDF or Word document — in under two minutes, with no account required.
Since launching in early 2026, over 25,000 consent forms have been created and downloaded through this site by researchers at universities, journalists at major publications, independent podcasters, and UX teams at startups and Fortune 500 companies.
What We Do
Every template on ConsentForms.xyz is written to cover the standard components required in professional and academic interview consent — participant rights, confidentiality clauses, withdrawal procedures, data retention, and signature blocks. We offer specialised variants for:
🔬
Academic Research
IRB-compatible templates designed to meet institutional review board requirements at universities across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
🎙️
Journalism & Media
Consent forms for print, broadcast, podcast, and documentary interviews — covering attribution, recording rights, and publication consent.
💻
UX Research
Specialised UX interview consent forms that capture screen recording permissions, session observation rights, and data anonymisation preferences.
🎓

Dissertation and student research consent forms aligned with university ethics committee requirements, with guidance notes included.
