Submit Filings and Payments Before 6 p.m. ET

The CRD/IARD system shuts down for the year at 6 p.m. on Dec. 27. Firms should ensure that they perform the following activities before the shutdown occurs:

• Submit registration filings. This includes terminating any registrations that firms do not want to renew for 2027.
   
• Finalize any E-Bill renewal payments or transactions. Firms that missed the payment deadline must ensure that renewal funds are posted by this date. At 6 p.m. ET, any unpaid Preliminary Statement will result in jurisdictions automatically terminating registrations for failing to renew. In addition, failing to renew will result in the inability to conduct business in these jurisdictions effective Jan. 1, 2027.
   
• Print and/or save renewal reports in CRD/IARD. On Jan. 2, Preliminary Statement reports will be replaced with Final Statement reports.

Several CRD/IARD system outages occur during the Renewal Program. See the CRD / IARD Availability page for details.
