Filers are individuals or entities that file documents or forms with a government agency or other institution. Some synonyms for "filers" include submitters, registrants, applicants, claimants, petitioners, and declarants. These terms are often used in legal, regulatory, or administrative contexts. Other synonyms may depend on the specific type of filing being done; for example, a tax filer might also be called a taxpayer, while someone filing a patent might be called an inventor. Regardless of the specific synonym used, all filers play an important role in ensuring that proper documentation and information is submitted to the appropriate authorities.
