The SEC has acknowledged that the COVID-19 public health crisis is presenting challenges for some entities and individuals applying for EDGAR codes. In particular, they are having difficulty meeting the notary requirement in the Form ID access application process and other EDGAR access processes that require notarization. The SEC has stated that it is “considering options to address this matter”.
