The 5 steps to amend a North Dakota LLC

Step 3 is the only one the state charges for.

  1. 1

    Check that it needs an amendment

    Where people get stuck

    An amendment changes what the formation document says: the name, the purpose if it was stated, or the management structure. A new registered agent has its own, usually cheaper, filing (change agents in North Dakota), and many address or member updates go on the yearly report. Changing the name? Use the name change steps.

  2. 2

    Approve it the way your operating agreement says

    Keep it in writing

    Put the members' or managers' approval in writing and keep it with the company records.

  3. 3

    File the amendment with the state

    We file this one

    You file it with North Dakota's business filing office; North Dakota's fee is $50 (North Dakota fee schedule). The current form is on North Dakota's official site. We file it for $120 plus the state fee.

  4. 4

    Update the operating agreement

    After the state accepts

    Change the operating agreement to match, so the two documents never disagree when a bank or buyer reads them.

  5. 5

    Tell whoever relies on the old details

    Easy to forget

    Banks, licensing agencies and the state tax agency keep their own records. For a name change, the IRS keeps your EIN and you write to it (IRS Publication 1635).
