Formularo

Formularo is the Esperanto noun for a form or document to be filled out. In Esperanto, it denotes a structured paper or digital artifact used to collect information, such as personal details, responses, or consent.

Forms are commonly used in bureaucratic, educational, and commercial contexts. They can be physical sheets handed to applicants or digital interfaces on websites and apps. Common types include application forms, registration forms, surveys, order forms, and consent forms.

Digital forms are built with form elements such as text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and dropdowns. Key considerations include data validation, accessibility, responsive layout, and privacy controls. Effective forms minimize required fields, provide clear labels, and guide users through the process. Data collected via forms is subject to privacy laws and storage policies.

Note on language: The term formularo resembles cognates in other languages (formular, formulario, formulaire) derived from a common Latin root, and serves as a term for a document to be filled in across contexts. See also: Form (document), Web form, Data collection.
