Name Amendment

When the information in the Articles or Certificate which was originally filed with the state to form a company is going to be changed, Articles of Amendment must usually be filed with the state.  When the name of a corporation, Limited Liability Company (LLC), Limited Partnership (LP) or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) changes, an  Amendment is required to be filed in states where such company does business.

The Amendment certifies that these important changes 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, where such change for a limited liability company may require consent of the LLC’s members.
