Firm/Organization Legal Name - You need to put in the same name and information as your previous EFIN.
For the Address, Take note that in your 2nd application, you’d want to check the address in the 1st or other application on how the addresses are spelled,
For the initial application, “Avenue” was abbreviated as “Ave”, so for this 2nd application, We’ll be using “Avenue”, Same goes with Street/St ; Suite/STE etc keeping the City, Zip and State the same.
This is extremely important because a minor change as this - is enough for the system to distinguish that you are a new office or a new location.
