NAME AMENDMENT

If you decide to change any information listed on the original formation document for a corporation, LLC, you need to file an Article of Amendment. When the name of a corporation, Limited Liability Company (LLC), Limited Partnership (LP) or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) changes, a name amendment may be required in states where your company conducts business.

Name amendments reflect changes to the legal name of a corporation, LLC or any other legal entity. Companies are authorized to do business under their legal names filed with the Secretary of State. If a legal entity will be changing its name, that change must first be approved by the state.

The amendment certifies that changes to the name were completed as required by law with consent of the appropriate individuals within the company. Legal requirements vary by state and entity type. For example, name changes for a corporation may require consent of the company's board of directors, officers or its shareholders . The new company name must be available on the records of the state. If the name is not available, the state may reject the company’s name amendment.
