CREATE A NEW PT-61 HELP

Need help Creating a New PT-61 based on an existing but un-filed filing?

To repeat the information from the overview page:
  • When you first start the retrieval process you are presented with two options. Option one allows you to Create a New PT-61 based upon an existing filing. Option two allows you to Edit a Pending PT-61.
  • If you choose to Create a New PT-61, we will use the existing but un-filed PT-61 form as a template to create a new form with a new PT-61 number. This action does not change or delete the form used as the template.
  • Using the create a new filing method allows you to easily create new filings with subtle differences in the filings. For example this might be useful if you have to file multiple PT-61 filings where the only difference might be the sub lot and block.
