EDGAR: Don’t Forget your Annual Confirmation! (Plus Other Reminders)
This information from Tuesday’s Section16.net blog seemed important to share here as well:
The SEC’s EDGAR Business Office distributed some helpful reminders on Friday:
Don’t Forget Annual Confirmation!
Ensure your annual confirmation is completed on time on the EDGAR Filer Management website. Annual confirmation is due at the end of the quarter selected by the filer as an ongoing confirmation deadline.
Protect Your PII
Before you hit submit, make sure you double-check the filer information, filings, and attachments to ensure you’re not inadvertently including sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) in your EDGAR submissions.
Have Questions? How Do I Guides Have Answers
Review user-friendly How Do I Guides that provide information about EDGAR, including how to request access, prepare and submit filings, and more.
EDGAR News & Announcements
Keep up with the latest EDGAR-related announcements, including important system changes. Sign up to receive email updates. Check for any EDGAR system status issues posted at the top of the announcements webpage.
Insiders and those who help manage their EDGAR filings should particularly note the reminder about the annual confirmation, which, as discussed in more detail in the December 2025 issue of Section 16 Updates, is a new housekeeping item under EDGAR Next, because some of the timing issues are not intuitive and failure to comply would eventually result in the insider having to submit a new Form ID.
In addition to receiving timely updates via the Section16.net members-only blog, Section16.net members have access to an ongoing Q&A Forum (with over 11,000 entries!) and online versions of Romeo & Dye’s Section 16 Treatise and Reporting Guide and Alan Dye’s Section 16 Forms and Filings Handbook. Website membership also gives you access to the annual webcast on Section 16 developments. Not a member? We can fix that.
