How Placetta submits your filings
What happens after you tap Approve and file, and when Placetta asks you for help.
What happens after you approve
- Placetta checks the application against the agency's requirements: every line filled, every document attached, the signature where the agency takes one.
- It submits exactly what you approved, by email from your connected mailbox, by fax, by certified mail or on the agency's website. Nothing you didn't approve is ever sent.
- It saves the confirmation, fax report or mail tracking to Documents, and every step shows in the application's progress and your audit trail.
When Placetta asks you
Placetta stops and shows a Finish this step card when the agency asks for a CAPTCHA, an identity check (such as ID.me or Login.gov), a code sent to your phone, its fee, or a handwritten signature. Open the agency's page from the card, do that one step, then tap I've done it, carry on. Placetta never types a card or bank number and never enters a Social Security, ITIN or passport number.
When the team takes over
If an agency isn't switched on for automatic filing yet, or a page looks different from what Placetta expects, the Placetta team submits it instead. Nothing is ever submitted twice.
