My mom did a tandem jump once for research. The way she tells the story, there was a short instruction bit (maybe a half hour long?) and paper work stuff. Then up she and the instructor went in the plane. If you want to do a solo jump, that takes a lot more training and can't be done just in a day. I can ask her specific questions if you want to know more.
I don't know what sort of paperwork my mom had to fill out, but I've gone whitewater rafting several times. The paperwork may not be exactly the same for sky diving, but the whitewater paperwork typically had a liability waver saying I wouldn't sue should anything happen, a medical release form saying the company could take what they view as appropriate medical action should anything happen, and another explaining the insurance policy that the company has for everyone who goes out should anything happen. And when I was under 18, both I and a parent had to sign the forms. I hope that makes sense. If not, just ask for a better explanation.
I think the paperwork would be basically the same since I've had to fill out the same sort of stuff whenever I've done adventure-type stuff.
