Step by step guide to Delaware LLC amendments

How to file a Delaware LLC Amendment:

To make amendments to your limited liability company in Delaware, you must provide the completed Certificate of Amendment for Limited Liability Company form to the Department of State by mail, fax or in person, along with the filing fee. Also, include the Filing Cover Memo with your name, address and telephone/fax number to enable them to contact you if necessary.

Can you re-state the initial articles instead of filing an amendment?

Yes. The filing fee for a restated certificate is $200. If you wish to re-state the initial articles you must draft your own restated articles. There is no form available for restated articles.

Are there any specifics you can or can’t include with a Delaware LLC amendment?

The original articles of organization may be amended as desired; however, you must use the Statement of Agent Change form to change your original registered agent named in your articles of organization.
