Connecticut Application To Register Securities (CARS) is a form of registration used in the State of Connecticut for corporations, limited partnerships, and other businesses to register their securities with the Connecticut Department of Banking. CARS can be used to register shares of stock, bonds, limited partnership interests, and other securities. There are two types of CARS: Long Form Application and Short Form Application. The Long Form Application is typically used for larger, more complex transactions and requires more information than the Short Form Application. The Short Form Application is used for smaller, simpler securities registrations and requires less information. Both forms require basic information about the issuer, the securities to be registered, and the persons responsible for the filing.
