MSRB First Day of Form A-12 Annual Affirmation Period

Each January, MSRB registrants (municipal securities dealers and municipal advisors) must verify and, if necessary, update the MSRB registration information provided in Form A-12. MSRB Rule A-12 requires that the affirmation be completed within 17 business days of the beginning of the calendar year. The MSRB uses information provided in Form A-12, in part, to communicate important information to registrants. A firm’s Primary Contact, Optional Contact or Compliance Contact can make affirmations. If no updates to Form A-12 are required, the appropriate individual can affirm the information by submitting the Form A-12 with no changes. If changes are required, the appropriate individual should make the necessary updates and submit an amended Form A-12.
