Delayed effective date

Q1. What is a delayed effective date?

A1. When a document is filed, it is immediately effective or active. A filer may choose to delay the effectiveness of their document up to 90 days by entering a delayed effective date.

Q2. If I choose a delayed effective date, will I see my filing in the entity’s history?

A2. Yes, you can view the filing in the entity’s history. If the filing affects the status or changes information in the record, the record will not be updated until the date chosen.

Q3. How long can I delay the effectiveness of the filing?

A3. The effectiveness can be delayed for a maximum of 90 days per  7-90-304 C.R.S.

Q4. Do I need to specify a time along with the date?

A4. No, the time is optional. If only a date is entered, then the document will become effective at 11:59 PM on that date. All filing dates and times are in Mountain Standard Time.

Q5. I chose a delayed effective date when I filed my entity-opening record, why can’t I file any other documents for this entity?

A5. When you choose a delayed effective date for an entity-opening record, that entity isn’t active until the date you entered. Therefore, you won’t be able to file anything under that record until the delayed date is met.

Q6. I made a mistake listing a delayed effective date, how do I fix it?

A6. If you mistakenly enter an incorrect delayed effective date, you can file a  Statement of Correction Correcting a Delayed Effective Date (PDF) to correct or remove the delayed effective date.
