Form SCC21.2 – Expedited Service Request

Information & Instructions

Revised: April 1, 2007

General Considerations

The Clerk’s Office of the State Corporation Commission will use its best efforts to timely review and process business

entity documents that are submitted for expedited service in accordance with these instructions and procedures.

Expedited service requests will be processed, to the extent possible, in the order in which they are received. No

document submitted for normal processing will be upgraded to receive expedited processing until Form SCC 21.2 and

the requisite expedite fee(s) are received by the appropriate staff in the Clerk’s Office and the staff locates the document.

The following are not subject to expedited service: providing copies of filed documents and certificates of fact,

including certificates of good standing; UCC filings; tax lien filings; registered agent resignations; annual report filings;

annual continuation report filings; registration fee payments; and service of process. The practice of the Clerk’s Office

with respect to these matters is unchanged.

Request Requirements

An Expedited Service Request form (Form SCC21.2) must be completed and placed on top of each business entity

document submitted for expedited service (so the submission can be readily identified as a request for expedited

service).

Payment for all required fees (including expedite, filing, charter/entrance, reinstatement and information order fees) must

accompany the expedited service request. Please write one check for the total of all fees related to the submission.

The Expedited Service Request form has been prescribed by the Clerk’s Office and, therefore, may not include

information that is not called for on the form. Include any extraneous information in your cover letter, which should be

placed immediately behind the Expedited Service Request form.

Hand Deliveries

To ensure that a hand-delivered document is promptly identified as an “expedite” at the time of delivery, it must be

presented to the front desk of the Clerk’s Office either (i) removed from its envelope (or with no envelope), with an

Expedited Service Request form (SCC21.2) on top, or (ii) in an envelope that prominently displays the words “FORM

SCC21.2 ENCLOSED.”

(Note: “Hand deliveries” do not include documents delivered to the Commission by overnight delivery companies.)

Overnight Deliveries

Overnight delivery companies are required to make deliveries to the Commission’s mailroom. They do not make their

deliveries to the front desk of the Clerk’s Office. Accordingly, there is usually a delay between the time that an overnight

delivery is received by the Commission’s mailroom and the time that it is received and identified as an expedite by the

staff of the Clerk’s Office.

Multiple Submissions

Each document submitted for expedited service must have its own Expedited Service Request form (on top) and will be

charged a separate expedited service fee. (Example 1: Articles of dissolution and articles of termination are submitted

for a corporation. To expedite the filing of both of these documents, an expedited service fee of $50.00 will be charged

for each document.

Example 2: An application for reinstatement and articles of amendment are submitted for a

corporation.

To expedite the filing of both of these documents, expedited service fees of $50.00 and $100.00,

respectively, will be charged.)

If two or more documents that relate to the same entity or transaction are submitted on the same day for expedited

service, they should be submitted together. This will facilitate our contemporaneous processing of the documents. If the

submissions include documents from Category A and Category C, the Category A submission needs to be placed on top,

even if the correspondent’s cover letter instructs us to file the Category C document first. If a single cover letter has been

prepared for multiple submissions (which is preferred), the original or a copy of the cover letter needs to be placed behind

the Expedited Service Request form for each submission.
