Which registration method becomes effective at the same time as the federal registration when coordinating with the federal government?

• A. Notice Filing
• B. Registration by Coordination
• C. Registration by Qualification
• D. Waiver

Answer: (B)

Coordination lets a state registration become effective at the same time as the SEC’s federal registration when the offering is already registered with the federal government. The state mirrors the federal filing, aligning the timing so both registrations are effective simultaneously, which avoids duplicative reviews and provides consistent protection across jurisdictions.

Notice filing is a lighter, more limited path where the security is already registered elsewhere and the state takes a less intensive look, so timing isn’t automatically tied to the federal date. Registration by qualification involves a full state review independently of the federal filing, so its effectiveness date won’t be synchronized with the federal one. A waiver isn’t a registration method at all.
