Manage the CIK Confirmation Code (CCC)

The CIK confirmation code (CCC) is a code that each filer needs to make filings and to retrieve and edit the filer’s information on EDGAR. It is visible on the dashboard of the EDGAR Filer Management website to the filer’s account administrators, users, delegated administrators and delegated users.

• The CCC is exactly eight (8) characters, consisting of at least one number (0-9) and at least one special character (such as @, #, $, *, etc.). Letters are case-sensitive (upper or lower case). To minimize errors, avoid using the number 1 (one), the lower case letter “l” (el), the number 0 (zero), and the capital letter O (oh).
• The CCC may be changed by an account administrator.
• Changing the CCC periodically enhances the security of the EDGAR account. SEC staff recommends that filers change their CCC immediately if they suspect that it may have been compromised, and periodically as a routine security practice.

This Guidance Instructs Filers How To:

• View the CCC
• Change the CCC

Before you begin: Coordinate with all those who need access to the filer’s EDGAR account before changing the CCC. If you do not, the filer may not be able to make filings!

View the CCC

Individuals with permission to file for a filer can view the CCC on the EDGAR Filer Management dashboard. After logging in with Login.gov individual account credentials, select either (i) Account Details at the top of the filer’s dashboard, or (ii) Show CCC under Manage CCC.

Change the CCC

An account administrator for a filer can generate a new CCC or create a custom CCC on the dashboard.

1. Log into the EDGAR Filer Management website with Login.gov individual account credentials.
2. Select My Accounts.
3. Select the Filer name associated with the CIK.
4. Select Manage CCC.
5. You may now either change the CCC by generating a new CCC or creating a custom CCC:
   1. Select Generate CCC—EDGAR will generate a new CCC for the filer, or
   2. Enter a new custom CCC of your choice in the first box above Create Custom CCC and re-enter it in the second box to confirm, then select Create Custom CCC.

The CCC will remain visible on the dashboard of the EDGAR Filer Management website for individuals with permission to make filings for that filer/CIK.
