Steps to prepare Section 16 for EDGAR Next
Pinned FeaturedUPDATED JULY 2025
✅ Make a list of your Section 16 Reporting Owners (and their CIK/CCC/Passphrase)
✅ All admins and users who will process filings need to obtain login.gov individual account credentials
✅ If your current Reporting Owners are already filing using Workiva, a Workspace Owner can utilize the Workiva platform to simplify the enrollment process!
✅ Log in to EDGAR® system and check that contact information is correct for every CIK
➢ According to the SEC, “Filers who have not reset their passphrase or CCC since September 2019 should obtain a new passphrase and a new CCC”
➢ Verify and update email addresses and contact details within the EDGAR system, including CCC and passphrase
✅ Enroll and assign Administrators on the EDGAR Next Dashboard (Ex. Themselves, your company, a law firm, a filing agent.)
➢ One or more per Issuer company where they are Officer or Director
➢ Account administrators choose annual confirmation window (3/30, 6/30, 9/30, 12/31)
➢ Choose one of four quarterly dates for ongoing confirmation - Mark your calendars!
✅ Delegation is recommended to file Section reporting owners as the process requires association with issuer (CIK, CCC for RO) per the EDGAR Business Office
➢ Reporting Owner delegates to the Issuer's CIK to use the Issuer's Filer API token
➢ Reporting Owner delegates to Workiva (CIKs 0001628280 & 0001628279) in Filer Management Dashboard to use File with Workiva
➢ Enroll Reporting Owners as soon as possible. You can continue to file using legacy EDGAR even after being enrolled in EDGAR Next until September 15, 2025.
🤝 Additional tips from Workiva
➢ Enrolling in EDGAR Next will automatically reset your CCC code for each account (CIK). Before enrolling, communicate the new CCC to any filing agent or entity that submits on your behalf or change it back to the original value
➢ We recommend using your business email for Login.gov
➢ **Technical admins are required if you choose to not delegate and use your own filing token, and account admins can be assigned as technical admins.
➢ The EDGAR Business Office documented that a POA is not generally required but check with your legal counsel for guidance
