Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
Articles of Incorporation are required documentation to become a corporation. Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation require specific steps to be followed. The laws of the state where the incorporation will take place must be adhered to. These requirements typically include the name of the corporation.
Changing Corporate Officers and Shareholders
To change Illinois corporation officers, shareholders must first pass a resolution. The corporation must then file amended Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State. A certificate of good standing is required before opening a business bank account.
Amendments and Changes in Filings
After your Pennsylvania corporation forms, changes can be filed with a Certificate of Amendment. The updated information is listed in the public record. You can change your LLC’s address on the Statement of Information form between filing periods for free. You cannot get a new certificate with an updated address.
Notification and Filing
LLCs and corporations file "Articles of Organization" or "Articles of Incorporation" with basic company information. If this information changes, like name and contact details, the state must be notified by filing Articles of Amendment. Some states require restating or additional forms for certain changes.
