How do I record my SPRS affirmation and get reminders?
KB-073 | Applies to: All plans | Last reviewed: November 5, 2026 | Version 1.0
After your company makes its annual SPRS affirmation, record the date in AffirmReady. Your team can see when it was done, and every Owner gets a reminder before the next one is due.
The short answer
An Owner selects SPRS affirmation in the menu, enters the date your company affirmed in SPRS and the next due date, and clicks Save dates. Every Owner then gets a reminder email 60, 30 and 7 days before the due date. AffirmReady does not submit anything to SPRS.
Recording your dates
Only an Owner can record or change these dates. Everyone on your team can see them.
- Select SPRS affirmation in the menu.
- Under Record your affirmation, enter the Date your company affirmed in SPRS. It can't be a future date.
- Check the Next affirmation due date. It fills in one year after the date you entered. If SPRS shows a different date, change it to match.
- Click Save dates.
You'll see: "Saved. Reminders will go to every Owner 60, 30 and 7 days before the due date."
If you haven't affirmed yet
Leave the first date empty. Enter the date you're aiming for as the Next affirmation due date, then click Save dates. Your reminders count down to that date, so you have time to finish your self-assessment first.
Your reminder emails
- They go to every Owner of your company, 60, 30 and 7 days before the due date.
- The subject reads "Reminder: your SPRS affirmation is due in 30 days," with the number of days for that reminder.
- They come from an address ending in @notify.affirmready.com and have an Open AffirmReady button.
- Editors and Read-only members don't get them. See KB-006 for roles.
- To move your reminders, change the Next affirmation due date on the SPRS affirmation page.
Where else you'll see the date
Your Home page shows your next SPRS affirmation due date, next to your self-assessment progress.
Each year after that
After your company affirms again, come back to the SPRS affirmation page and enter the new date. The same page is where an Owner starts next year's cycle when it's time to prepare again.
What AffirmReady does and doesn't do
AffirmReady keeps your dates and sends reminders. Your company enters its own self-assessment results in SPRS, and your Affirming Official makes the affirmation there. See KB-009 and KB-011. To get ready for that step, see KB-051.
