A registration number and PIN are required.

• To participate in the electronic filing program complete the application for a REGISTRATION NUMBER AND PIN. The application is a fillable and saveable form; however, it cannot be filed electronically. THE REGISTRATION NUMBER AND PIN ARE NOT PRODUCED AUTOMATICALLY AT THIS WEBSITE.
  • The registration number and PIN will be sent via email within the next business day of our receipt of this application.
  • The registration number and PIN, when combined together, will take the place of your signature allowing you to file electronically.
  • When entered on an electronic form they will return the signer's name.
  • Signers may include, but are not limited to, a governmental affairs agent, a represented entity or a person who conducts “grassroots lobbying” or their representative, who has authority to sign reports on their behalf.
  • The registration number and PIN are being assigned to you as a person, and are used in place of your written signature and, as such, are totally unrelated to any lobbying entity, annual reporting date or year, or other such criteria.
  • The registration number and PIN can and should be used for as many years as you are required to file reports with the Commission.
  • Any person covered by the “Legislative and Governmental Process Activities Disclosure Act,” who would normally sign a report must complete and submit an application to receive a registration number and PIN.
    
    
• If you received a registration number and PIN because you filed campaign, political party or PAC financial activity reports electronically, you don’t need to register again. Use the same registration number and PIN you already have to file any electronic report with the Commission.

• Create a folder either on your desktop or some other location where all of the annual lobby forms will be saved. This is an important step that is necessary at a later time in the process. Give the folder a name, such as “ELEC_Lobby” for easy reference. Download and save the form(s) to this folder giving it an easily recognizable file name.
