Best Practices for CA Warnings & Errors

Not all compliance report errors and warnings are the same. In fact, some of them can be very difficult to discern. Below are some things to keep in mind or attempt if you receive an error or warning you are unsure about.

First, when it comes to the CA filing system, it’s well over 20 years old. In dog years, that’s at least 140 years old. Due to this, there may be days where you experience trouble filing the report.

Perhaps the most common issue CA filers encounter is the system getting overloaded. Typically this happens on heavy filing days. Your best bet is to wait an hour or so, then try filing the report again.

Unfortunately, when their system is bogged down, there isn’t anything we can do to push the report through. However, send us an email anyway, as this creates a paper trail and we can use that if we need to follow up with the Secretary of State. If you do reach out to us, please also be sure to include a screenshot of the error you are receiving, as well as the report criteria.
