• If your filing is related to an existing business, you may need a personal identification number or 'PIN' to access existing information that will be part of your filing, such as an annual report or a renewal. The PIN will usually be provided to you by the agency that holds your existing record for this filing.
  
  
• If you aren't sure you understand the filing steps, remember to check the Help column for more information.

• When you want to return to work on a filing or registration that is in progress, or view a submitted or completed application, you will return to it through your personal filing cabinet.
      In Progress means you have started but not completed a filing.
      Submitted means you have finished the filing and submitted it for processing.
      Completed means all agencies have approved the filing.
      Rejected means the registration is no longer under review.  Contact the agency for more information.
  
  
• In the center section, you will find the name of the filing, the status of the filing, the date you made the last change, the agency currently reviewing the filing, if any, and whether certain special activity filings must accompany your business registration.  As the application moves through the agencies, this information is automatically updated.
  
  
• The Additional Filings line can be tricky. "Yes" means there were specific additional required filings identified during the business registration application, and "No" means no other filings were identified.  However, "No" DOES NOT necessarily mean that you have no other filings to make with licensing and registration agencies.
