Creating An Account in Certify

Entity owned firms and their contributors cannot have one email address to access all relevant firms. Both the administrator filling out the application and the various contributors will need to register in Certify with a separate email address for each firm.

Filling out the 8(a) application (Initial Application or Annual Review)
