SEC Official Email and Mobile Number: A Company Formation Detail That Matters
A proposed corporation may spend considerable time on its name, shareholders and capital while treating its contact details as a minor field. The SEC-designated email address and mobile number deserve more attention. They are part of the company’s official communications with the regulator and should remain under reliable corporate control.
What SEC Memorandum Circular No. 28 requires
SEC Memorandum Circular No. 28, series of 2020 requires covered entities to create or designate email addresses and cellphone numbers for SEC transactions. The circular provides for an authorization that permits the Commission to send notices and other documents through the stated channels. The SEC also maintains an MC 28 submission portal.
Founders should choose an address the company can retain when an incorporator, employee or outside service provider leaves. Document who may access the mailbox and phone, how authentication is handled, and who monitors incoming SEC communications. A personal account used for convenience may become a significant risk if no one else can retrieve notices.
Keep the record current
Review the registered contact details whenever the company changes officers, administrators or advisers. Coordinate the MC 28 record with the contact data used in later SEC filings and keep a copy of the submission acknowledgment. If access has been lost, assess the SEC’s current amendment or recovery process promptly.
