Submission errors

What happens when EDGAR rejects a filing and common causes.

When EDGAR rejects

If EDGAR rejects a transmission, TakePublic notifies your team in the app and by email. The filing page shows a plain-English explanation of the rejection so you know what to fix.

Common causes

Wrong CCC, CIK mismatch with the filing header, malformed submission XML, or document hash drift after sign-off are frequent causes.

  1. Fix the underlying issue.
  2. Have counsel sign again if content changed.
  3. Resubmit the filing.
  • Wrong CCC: re-enter the code from your EDGAR filer management page.
  • CIK mismatch: confirm the CIK on the filing matches your EDGAR account.
  • Stale sign-off: any edit after sign-off requires counsel to sign again.

Getting help

If the error persists, send a message from the Help widget with the filing ID and rejection message. TakePublic is a technology platform, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice on EDGAR content.
