Preclearance Services

Preclearance services are offered to review your document before submitting. This will not issue a filing date but will be a submission to check the document for errors before officially submitting it to file. You will receive your document back with a stamp of approval meaning that there were no errors found during the review, or you will receive a letter back stating what errors need to be fixed before submitting your document. These requests can be submitted via Filing Upload, in person, or fax. All submission methods must include a cover letter that specifies you are requesting preclearance services.

PLEASE NOTE that if you are submitting for same day preclearance, your filing must be received by our office by 10:00 AM. If submitted after 10:00 AM, the preclearance will be available the next business day.

Preclearance Fees

Same Day: $250
Two Day: Equal to 2x the filing fee of the document
Three Day: Equal to the filing fee of the document

Your preclearance fees will not be considered when submitting the document for filing. The preclearance fees go to the service provided to review the document, not for checking the document. These fees are nonrefundable.

Expedited Services

Expedited services are available for many business filings with our office. You can pay the expedite fee to have your filing completed in the given timeframe. If your filing is rejected, you will received correspondence through mail regarding the errors found in the document. Expedite requests can be submitted in person or through the filing upload on our Fast Track Filing System. If you choose to pick up your documents rather than have them mailed back to you, please provide that information at submission. We will hold the documents for 24 hours after the scheduled pickup time; if they are not retrieved in that timeframe, they will be sent out in the mail to you.
