Needs attention means the state - or Genaya's filing team reviewing it before submission - flagged something that has to be fixed before the filing can continue. The two most common causes are a name conflict and a bad address.

A filing's status trail - Needs attention shows exactly what to fix.
  1. 1
    Open the filing

    From Operations -> Business Filings -> Filings, open the order marked Needs attention.

  2. 2
    Read what is wrong

    Genaya states the specific issue - for example, that your legal name conflicts with an existing business, or the principal address is a PO Box.

  3. 3
    Fix the field

    Correct it directly in Genaya - a new legal name, or a real street address.

  4. 4
    The filing resumes

    Genaya sends the correction back to the state automatically. No new order and no new charge.

infoFixing and resuming does not create a new order or a new charge - it is the same filing continuing from where it stopped.
