Series 63 practice questionmediumExemptions — Notice Filing
On a final review set, the question is presented in this context. Prioritize the registration trigger and ignore irrelevant noise. A federal covered adviser that has clients in a state must:
- ARegister with the state Administrator just like a state-registered adviser
- BDo nothing, as the SEC registration covers all states
- CFile a notice with the state, pay applicable fees, and consent to service of process✓ Correct answer
- DObtain a state business license before advising clients in the state
Explanation
Why C — File a notice with the state, pay applicable fees, and consent to service of process
Under USA Section 203A and NSMIA, federal covered advisers are not required to register with the state but must file notice (typically a copy of their Form ADV), pay applicable fees, and consent to service of process. The state retains authority to investigate fraud but cannot impose additional registration requirements beyond notice filing. The extra setup is just noise; the controlling state-law rule stays the same.
