Document background
A Certificate of Incorporation Change of Name is required when a corporation wishes to legally operate under a different name in the United States. This document must be filed with the appropriate state authority, typically the Secretary of State's office, and requires proper corporate authorization through board resolution and, in some cases, shareholder approval. The certificate serves as official evidence of the name change and must include specific information such as the current corporate name, new name, effective date, and confirmation of proper authorization. This document is crucial for maintaining legal compliance and updating all corporate records, licenses, and registrations.
