Form Scc21.2 - Expedited Service Request (Page 2 of 5) in pdf

Overnight Deliveries

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

make their deliveries to the information 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 expedited submission by the staff of the Clerk’s Office.

Multiple Submissions

Each document submitted for expedited service must be accompanied by an Expedited Service Request form

(on top, in duplicate) and a separate expedited service fee payment, unless the document is required for the

expedited processing of a reinstatement application.

Example 1: Articles of dissolution and articles of termination are submitted for a Virginia 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 is submitted for a terminated corporation, along with articles

of amendment for a required name change. To expedite the filing of both submissions, a single expedited

service fee of $50.00 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 concurrent processing of the

documents.

If the submissions include documents from Category A and Category C, the Category A

submission should be presented on top, even if the correspondent’s cover letter requests the Clerk’s Office 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 should be placed behind the Expedited Service Request

form for each submission.

Categories of Expedited Service

Category A – Business Entity Documents listed in Schedule A

Entails the review and processing of any document listed in Schedule A.

Same Day Service – $200

Next Day Service – $100

Category B – Preliminary Review of a Document listed in Schedule A (2

Business Day Service only)

Entails the review of a draft of any document listed in Schedule A to determine if it contains a deficiency

that would make the document unacceptable if submitted for filing. Subsequent, modified drafts of a

document that was submitted for preliminary review will be examined at no additional charge if the

revised drafts are submitted with Form SCC21.2 within 30 days of the initial submission.

The

resubmission should include the original submission’s document control number (DCN), if known. (The

DCN is printed on the receipt for the initial submission’s expedited service fee.)

Note: Preliminary review is not the equivalent of pre-filing clearance. Overlooked deficiencies will

not be waived if recognized when a document is presented for filing.

Preliminary review is only available through an expedited service request. The Clerk’s Office does not

offer normal processing of a preliminary review request.

Initial Submissions and resubmissions more than 30 days after the Initial Submission – $50

Resubmissions within 30 days of Initial Submission – No Charge
