What Are Articles of Amendment?
As an organization, you’re always evolving, shifting and improving. This means you’ll inevitably need to change some of the important parameters of your business. That’s where Articles of Amendment come in.

Why Is It Important to File?
You need to let the state know things have changed so that you remain in good standing. Otherwise, you risk being seen as negligent, damaging your reputation.
For practical purposes, the state needs to know who to send official correspondence and legal notices to. For this reason, keeping information updated, such as your Registered Agent, is key.

how to file
articles of amendment
determine the correct form needed
This is typically provided by your state. Make sure you can’t file a cheaper or simpler form. For example, some states have a separate form solely for changing your Registered Agent that often requires a lower fee than Articles of Amendment. Research your state’s requirements before beginning.
fill out the amendment form
A standard form includes your business name, state, date, article number(s) being amended, a written statement that the article is being amended, the amendment itself and a statement that all other articles remain in effect. You’ll also need signatures from members. Failing to provide all the necessary info could mean your amendment is denied.
submit the form to the state and pay the filling fee
Depending on the state, this may be done online or delivered in person. It typically costs $100-$200 — but if you’re a nonprofit corporation, the fee is often lower.
file restated articles of organization or incorporation
Once the Articles of Amendment are submitted, you may want to file restated Articles of Organization that reflect these new changes. While it’s not a requirement, it helps consolidate your documents so everything’s streamlined.
