The SEC has amended Volume I of the EDGAR Filer Manual, Section 4.b. Manual Passphrase Update Request, and related rules to require filers who have lost their passphrase to upload specified supporting documentation to demonstrate the relationships between the entity requesting access and the existing EDGAR account, and the entity requesting access and the individual acting for that entity. Filers seeking access to an existing EDGAR account for which they have neither the access codes nor the current contact email address would be required to submit documents with the request for access, and additional documents as requested by SEC staff.  

The amendments provide that filers seeking access under this process must allow at least five (5) business days for processing of the request, and must respond to requests from SEC staff for additional information and documents. 

In addition, the SEC has revised Volume II of the EDGAR Filer Manual to reflect updates to the EDGAR system.
