Series 63 practice questionmediumSecurities Registration — Effective Dates
In a state-law practice set, a candidate reviews the following scenario. Prioritize the registration trigger and ignore irrelevant noise. A registration statement filed by notification becomes effective:
- AOnly when the Administrator issues a specific order
- BSimultaneously with the federal registration
- CAt a specified time on a specified day, such as 3:00 PM on the second full business day after filing, provided no stop order is pending✓ Correct answer
- DImmediately upon filing the application
Explanation
Why C — At a specified time on a specified day, such as 3:00 PM on the second full business day after filing, provided no stop order is pending
Under USA Section 302, registration by notification becomes effective at a specified hour on a designated day after filing, provided no stop order is in effect and the filing requirements have been met. This automatic effectiveness reflects the lower level of scrutiny needed for established issuers who qualify for this method. The exam trick is the framing, not the underlying Uniform Securities Act rule.
