FAQ

Does changing the county require new publication?

No. Publication is a one-time requirement at formation. Changing your county in the Articles does not trigger a new publication obligation.

How much does a name change cost total?

$60 (Articles of Amendment filing). Additionally update: EIN notification (Form 8822-B to IRS, free), bank accounts, contracts, licenses, and DBA filings.

Can I amend multiple things at once?

Yes. One DOS-1369 filing ($60) can amend multiple provisions simultaneously.
