Update to Web CRD Firm Notification Functionality

NASD, as part of its continuing efforts to assist member firms in fulfilling their compliance and registration-related requirements, is introducing an expanded e-mail notification service to all firms beginning August 22. The e-mail notifications, which are listed below, are intended to assist firms in identifying (1) material changes to a registered person's registration status and (2) critical dates relating to a registered person's CE requirements. NASD recognizes the significance of our member firms' efforts to ensure compliance with registration-related requirements; therefore, as an expanded service to all firms, beginning on August 22, NASD will automatically send the following five e-mail notifications to firmdesignated contacts as the conditions occur:

  • Notify when an individual's registration is Inactive Prints with the Firm-BD Only


  • Notify when a registered individual enters Firm Temporary Registration Cancellation Queue


  • Notify when a registered individual is within 30 days of the end of his or her CE Required window - BD Only


  • Notify when a registered individual is within 90 days of the end of his or her CE Required window - BD Only


  • Notify when a registered individual enters Firm CE Inactive Queue - BD Only

In order to ensure that these important e-mails are directed appropriately, NASD requests that all firms select and supply contact information for the five e-mail notifications. Detailed instructions on how to access the selection screens and supply new and/or updated e-mail address information for the receipt of Firm Notifications can be found at: www.nasdr.com/pdf-text/webcrd_nav_firmnot.pdf.

Key Dates:

  • 16 Firm Notifications available for firms to elect to receive. NASD is asking firms to select, at minimum, the 5 notifications listed in this article.


  • Firms may choose to have one individual at the firm receive all of the e-mails selected, or, as of this date, firms can input a different e-mail address for each Firm Notification it selects.
