On Friday, the SEC sent a reminder that September 15, a key date for EDGAR Next, is (now less) than one month away.

In one month, on September 15, 2025, compliance with the EDGAR Next changes to EDGAR filer access and account management is required to continue to file on EDGAR uninterrupted. Filers must be enrolled in EDGAR Next or have been granted access on Form ID on or after March 24, 2025.

Enrollment will remain open through December 19, 2025, however, as of September 15, 2025, filers who have not enrolled or been granted access on Form ID on or after March 24, 2025 will be unable to file until they enroll.

– At a minimum, unenrolled filers should ensure NOW that they have a current CCC and passphrase which are required to enroll, as well as access to their EDGAR POC email box (in case the CCC and passphrase must be reset or confirmed as current).

– Unenrolled filers cannot change their EDGAR POC email after 10 p.m. September 12, 2025.
