U.S. SEC Grants Temporary Relief for Edgar Code Applicants Unable to Obtain Notarization
Apr 03, 2020The SEC recently adopted temporary relief for Edgar filers that face challenges obtaining notarization of signatures on Form ID applications, which are required to obtain Edgar access codes.
Applicants can now upload a signed copy of Form ID without the notarization by including a statement that they were unable to obtain notarization due to difficulties related to COVID-19. Within 90 days after obtaining access to Edgar, applicants must obtain notarization of the authorized signature on a copy of the completed Form ID and upload it to their Edgar account. Failure to do so may result in the SEC inactivating their Edgar access codes.
The relief expires after July 1, 2020.
