When adding documents to a filing submission, you may need to provide additional attributes (e.g. document title, name of the qualified person, effective date of the document, etc.) depending on the type of document uploaded. If a document requires additional attributes or if it is a document that has a fee, the system will generate a unique, alphanumeric Grouping ID.

The purpose of a document Grouping ID is to prevent the recalculation of filing fees when new documents are uploaded and to support the prepopulation of document attributes for like-documents on subsequent submissions within the same filing subtype.

You should look up and use the document Grouping ID in the following scenarios:

• Uploading a corrected version of the same document
• Uploading the same document in a different language
• Correct or update document or fee attributes
