The SEC’s EDGAR Next transition is the most significant upgrade to the EDGAR filing system in over 20 years. Beginning September 15, 2025, all filers must adopt the new secure, role-based access model. This update replaces shared EDGAR credentials with individual login.gov accounts and multi-factor authentication, delivering greater security and tighter control over account access.

For companies that rely on EDGAR filing services, there are only a few weeks remaining to ensure that both you and your filing service provider are already for the transition to EDGAR Next.

What is EDGAR Next?

In September of 2024, the SEC adopted amendments to Regulation S-T to modernize its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system. The result is EDGAR Next, a more secure and manageable framework for account access and filing operations.

Key improvements include:

  • Login.gov integration with multi-factor authentication
  • Elimination of shared credentials (CCC, PMAC) for better security
  • Designated account administrators for ongoing access management
  • Optional API filing access for automated systems

EDGAR Next Deadlines You Need to Know

  • September 12, 2025 – Recommended enrollment deadline to maintain uninterrupted EDGAR filing access.
  • September 15, 2025 – Only enrolled filers can submit filings through EDGAR Next.
  • December 19, 2025 – Final deadline to enroll. After this date, filers must submit a new Form ID and await SEC approval before regaining access.

Missing these deadlines could delay filings, cause missed disclosure obligations, and lead to regulatory consequences.

Key Changes to the SEC EDGAR Filing Process

  • Secure Access – Shared credentials like CCC and PMAC are replaced with login.gov and MFA.
  • Administrator Oversight – Each filer must have at least two account administrators (except certain single-member entities) responsible for account management and annual confirmations.
  • New CCC Issuance – Filers receive a new CCC upon enrollment, which must be securely shared only with authorized users.
  • API Integration – Optional machine-to-machine filing for organizations with automated EDGAR workflows.

EDGAR Next Enrollment Requirements

Before enrolling, you will need:

  • Current EDGAR access codes (CIK, CCC, passphrase)
  • login.gov credentials for account administrators
  • Contact information for account administrators
  • Quarter-end selection for annual EDGAR confirmation

Enrollment is a one-time process per CIK, and only one party should initiate it to avoid conflicts.
