Document Submission

EMMA Dataport now features an enhanced user interface and improvements to the continuing disclosure submission process for issuers. Read more about the changes.

Municipal securities dealers, municipal advisors, issuers, obligated persons and their designated agents provide the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) with electronic documents to be posted on EMMA. EMMA Dataport is the utility through which submissions of documents and related information are made to MSRB Market Transparency Programs.

  • Submissions by Municipal Advisors

    Municipal advisors must register with the MSRB and comply with all relevant rules governing their market activities.

    Political Contribution Disclosure Submissions

    Municipal securities dealers that underwrite municipal bonds and municipal advisors must submit information to the MSRB on their municipal securities and municipal advisory business and related political contributions to officials of municipal entities, state and local political parties, and bond ballot campaigns. Political contribution information is to be provided for the regulated entity, its municipal finance professionals and municipal advisor professionals, non-MFP and non-MAP executive officers, as well as political action committees controlled by the regulated entity or their municipal finance professionals or municipal advisor professionals.
