What are articles of amendment?

Articles of amendment officially update—or “amend”—important details in an LLC, corporation, or nonprofit’s original articles of organization or incorporation. These changes are typically registered with your Secretary of State.

An amendment is required when a business changes its:

  • name

  • principal address

  • registered agent name and address

  • management structure (for LLCs)

  • number of shares (for corporations)

  • contact information for members, managers, officers, or directors
