Temporary Final Rule 10(c) Expires Today; Filers May Continue to Submit Electronic and Remote Online Notarization in Support of Form ID

July 1, 2020 

On March 26, 2020, the Commission temporarily amended Rule 10 of Regulation S-T to provide relief through July 1, 2020 from the notarization requirements for EDGAR access requests, subject to certain conditions. Today is the final day to rely on temporary final Rule 10(c) to apply for EDGAR access.  (As a reminder, those filers who have already applied for access under Rule 10(c) have 90 days from receipt of EDGAR access to comply with the notarization requirements.)  

Please be aware that EDGAR Filer Support will continue to work with filers to accept electronic and remote online notarizations.  Please refer to the “Other Relief” section of the SEC’s joint statement published June 26, 2020, Targeted Regulatory Relief to Assist Market Participants Affected by COVID-19.

If filers require assistance, they may contact 202-551-8900 option 3.
