How-To Guide: Register as a Broker Dealer

Broker-Dealer [O.C.G.A. § 10-5-30]

Broker-Dealers must file electronically through the Central Registration Depository (CRD) system operated by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). For questions about FINRA, please call the Gateway Call Center at 240-386-4848.

How To Register

Expiration and Renewal

Unless renewed, all broker-dealer firm registrations (regardless of when permitted in the calendar year) expire on December 31st of each calendar year. The renewal fee is $105.00. Renewals should be submitted through CRD prior to expiration of registration. 

FINRA publishes instructions on CRD renewal during the fall prior to expiration.  If you do not receive instructions from FINRA regarding the renewal process during the fall of the year prior to expiration, you should contact the FINRA Gateway Call Center at (301) 869-6699 or the Georgia Securities Division at 404-656-2817. 

Please be advised: Failure to renew by December 31st will result in termination of your registration in Georgia. The Securities Division will NOT send out separate renewal notices to remind registrants of the renewal process.
