Along with general year-end filing delays due to seasonal high volume and holiday closures, this year there are also nationwide staffing shortages that are creating longer than usual turn-around times in many jurisdictions. In addition, please keep in mind that several states use the date that the document is actually processed by the filing office (rather than the date of submission) as the date of filing which makes Secretary of State office delays even more significant. We encourage you to be mindful of these hurdles as you’re lining up your end-of-year filing tasks.
If you have any questions as to how these issues may affect your current or future orders, please reach out to your favorite customer service rep directly or to anyone on the Capitol Services team.
