Attached are the form and instructions to amend the Articles of Organization of a Florida Limited Liability Company.
A limited liability company can amend its articles of organization by filing articles of amendment with the Division of
Corporations that meet the requirements of s. 605.0202, Florida Statutes, which is printed on the reverse side of this letter.
Pursuant to s.605.0202 (2)(d), Florida Statutes, the document must be typed or printed and must be legible.
Pursuant to s. 605.0207, Florida Statutes, an effective date may be specified but it must be specific, cannot be prior to the
date of filing, and cannot be more than 90 days in the future.
If you are changing the name of the limited liability company, the new name must be distinguishable on the records of the
Florida Department of State.
The new name must end with the words “Limited Liability Company,” the abbreviation “L.L.C.,” or the designation
“LLC.”
A preliminary search for name availability can be made on the Internet through the Division’s records at www.sunbiz.org.
Preliminary name searches and name reservations are no longer available from the Division of Corporations. You are
responsible for any name infringement that may result from your name selection.
If the registered agent is changed by the amendment, the new agent must sign accepting the appointment, and must state
that he or she is familiar with and accepts the obligations of the position. Additional sheets may be attached if necessary.
The fees are as follows: $25.00 Filing Fee
$30.00 Certified copy (optional)
$ 5.00 Certificate of Status (optional)
Submit one check made payable to the Florida Department of State for the total amount of the filing fee and any
certificate or copy. Please include a cover letter containing your daytime telephone number and return address. A letter
of acknowledgment will be issued after the amendment has been filed.
Any further inquiries on this matter should be directed to the Registration Section by calling (850) 245-6051, or by writing
Division of Corporations, P. O. Box 6327, Tallahassee, FL, 32314.
NOTE: THIS FORM FOR FILING ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT IS BASIC. EACH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY IS
A SEPARATE ENTITY AND AS SUCH HAS SPECIFIC GOALS, NEEDS, AND REQUIREMENTS. ADDITIONAL
SHEETS MAY BE ATTACHED AS REQUIRED.
THE DIVISION OF CORPORATIONS RECOMMENDS THAT ALL DOCUMENTS BE REVIEWED BY YOUR LEGAL
COUNSEL. THE DIVISION IS A FILING AGENCY AND AS SUCH DOES NOT RENDER ANY LEGAL, ACCOUNTING,
OR TAX ADVICE. THE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL TO ASCERTAIN EXACT
COMPLIANCE WITH ALL STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
