Creating an Account on Login.gov

You must create a secure login.gov account that will allow two-factor authentication for access to the EDGAR Filer Management site. Login.gov is used by the public to securely sign into participating government agencies like the SEC.

Important information

  • Your login.gov email needs to be the same email you use to enroll with EDGAR Filer Management.
  • If you do not use the same email, you may encounter a suspension of your filing when sent in for test or live filing.

All users with filing credentials are required to create a Login.gov account. This account is essential in preparing each user for access to EDGAR filing CIKs. To comply with the account creation, follow the steps below: 

  1. To create an account on Login.gov account, go to the following page: 
    https://secure.login.gov/sign_up/enter_email
  2. Enter your email and click Submit.
