πŸ“ž Call Us
What is Articles of Amendment?β–Ύ
Articles of Amendment (or Certificate of Amendment) is a formal document filed with the state to change information in your original Articles of Organization (for LLCs) or Articles of Incorporation (for corporations).
How long does an amendment take?β–Ύ
Processing times vary by state β€” typically 3–10 business days. Expedited filing is available in many states for faster turnaround. Corplys will advise you on the timeline for your specific state.
Do I need to update my EIN after a name change?β–Ύ
Generally, a simple business name change does not require a new EIN. However, you should notify the IRS of the name change by writing to them or noting it on your next tax return.
Do I need to update my operating agreement too?β–Ύ
Yes β€” if you change your name, address, or ownership structure, you should also update your operating agreement (for LLCs) or bylaws (for corporations) to keep all documents consistent.
Can I change my registered agent with an amendment?β–Ύ
A registered agent change is typically filed separately rather than as an amendment. Corplys offers this as a separate service β€” see our Change Registered Agent page.
What if the new business name I want is already taken?β–Ύ
Before filing, Corplys conducts a name availability search in your state. If your desired name is unavailable, we will notify you so you can choose a different name before we proceed.
