When do you get a GC number on a new cache?

[+PollyRoger]

Hi!  I'm making my first cache.  It's a mystery cache.  I have one of the fancy official geocache stickers, and I want to use a solution checker.  Both ask for the GC number.  When do I get that number?  I know I can just edit the page to add the solution checker, do I just have to come back and write the GC code on the cache later after it's published?  Thanks!

Create the cache page now. Get the GC#, write it on the sticker. Later, you can edit the cache page until it's ready to submit for publication.

If you save the Listing the first time, you get th GC number. You need not submit the Listing to get the GC number.

Good luck with your new cache.
