Compliance with EDGAR Next—the Securities and Exchange Commission’s security, access, and account management improvements to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system—is now required to file on EDGAR. To be in compliance, filers must be enrolled in EDGAR Next or have been granted access to EDGAR on or after March 24, 2025. As of today, under EDGAR Next, Access to all three EDGAR filing websites (EDGAR Filer Management, EDGAR Online Forms and EDGAR Filing) requires presentation of Login.gov individual account credentials and completion of multifactor authentication. To file and take actions on the filer’s EDGAR account, individuals must additionally have permissions for the filer as a user or account administrator. The CIK and CCC remain codes required to file on EDGAR. Legacy EDGAR passwords and PMACs have been discontinued. Optional Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are available to filers for machine-to-machine interaction with EDGAR. Filers that have not yet enrolled in EDGAR Next or been granted access to EDGAR on or after March 24, 2025 must enroll to be able to file on EDGAR. Enrollment remains open until December 19, 2025. “EDGAR Next modernizes EDGAR access and account management and improves the security of the system for filers and the Commission. The addition of APIs gives filers a more efficient method of interacting with EDGAR,” said Jed Hickman, Director, EDGAR Business Office. “We thank filers for their cooperation in achieving these improvements and look forward to making continued enhancements to EDGAR in the future.” Visit the EDGAR Next webpage for more information.

On Monday, September 15, 2025, to continue filing on EDGAR uninterrupted, filers must be enrolled in EDGAR Next or have been granted access on Form ID on or after March 24, 2025. Filers that have not enrolled or obtained access on Form ID should enroll now! For tips on enrollment, consult the EDGAR July 28, 2025 announcement and the enrollment guidance linked on the EDGAR Next page on SEC.gov. A filer that plans to enroll after September 15, 2025 and prior to the enrollment deadline of December 19, 2025 should ensure it has a current CCC and passphrase to enroll. A filer can reset the CCC or passphrase to ensure it is current by requesting a code be sent to the EDGAR point of contact email address (“EDGAR POC email”). See How Do I Reset the Passphrase and CCC to Enroll (And Avoid the Need to File Form ID). If a filer cannot access its EDGAR POC email, it can update that email until September 12, 2025. As of September 12, 2025, at 10:00pm, filers will be unable to update their EDGAR POC emails. Thus, as of September 15, 2025, if a filer’s CCC and/or passphrase are not current and the filer cannot access the EDGAR POC email, the filer will be unable to reset the CCC and/or passphrase and must submit Form ID to regain access to its EDGAR account. Filers that have enrolled or obtained access on Form ID on or after March 24, 2025 should take these additional actions to ensure a smooth filing experience: (1) Ask the filer’s account administrators to log into the dashboard of the EDGAR Filer Management website and check that filers’ accounts are set up, including, if they choose, by adding individuals who will take actions for the filer and delegating authority to filing agents; and (2) Remind individuals who will take actions on the filer’s behalf on EDGAR to obtain individual account credentials from Login.gov. Consult the EDGAR Next page on SEC.gov and the EDGAR How Do I Guides for more information. Filers can also obtain assistance through email at EDGARNext@sec.gov and telephone at 202-551-8900, option #2.

On August 4, 2025, EDGAR Release 25.2.1.1 will introduce the following changes: EDGAR Filing Website Updates for Release 25.2.1.1 Form SDR was deployed to EDGAR in 2015, but as the Commission has published a No-Action Statement that applies through Nov 5, 2029 for all Form SDR submission types, the ability to submit submission types SDR, SDR/A, SDR-A, SDR-W, SDR-CCO and SDR-CCO/A has been temporarily disabled in EDGAR Filing website, EDGARLink Online and for filer constructed submissions.  EDGAR will be updated to introduce a new validation to alert filers of errors related to their reporting of previously paid offerings.

EDGAR filers must be in compliance with the SEC’s EDGAR Filer Access and Account Management rule and form amendments—known as EDGAR Next—as of September 15, 2025 to keep filing uninterrupted on EDGAR. To comply with EDGAR Next, filers must be enrolled (or granted access on Form ID on or after March 24, 2025), and they must authorize individuals to act on their behalf on EDGAR. Filers must further ensure that those individuals present Login.gov individual account credentials and complete multifactor authentication to access EDGAR.  Enroll in EDGAR Next now! Enrollment is a streamlined process for filers to transition to EDGAR Next that does not require presentation of a power of attorney to SEC staff or notarization of documents.   SEC staff encourages filers to enroll rather than submit a Form ID for lost access to EDGAR. If filers have lost the codes needed to enroll or are unsure whether those codes are current, they may consult How Do I Update the Passphrase and CCC to Enroll (and Avoid the Need to Submit Form ID).  Extensive guidance to assist filers in complying with EDGAR Next is available on the EDGAR Next webpage on SEC.gov, including step-by-step enrollment instructions, links to how-to videos and webinars, and answers to frequently asked questions.
