Alabama Domestic Business Corporation Amendment to Formation/Articles is a legal document that is used to alter the formation or articles of an existing Alabama Domestic Business Corporation. This document is typically used when the corporation wants to change its name, corporate structure, or the number of shares that can be issued. The amendment must be filed with the Alabama Secretary of State and will become effective upon filing. There are two types of Alabama Domestic Business Corporation Amendment to Formation/Articles: a Certificate of Amendment to Formation and a Certificate of Amendment to Articles. The Certificate of Amendment to Formation is used to change the formation of the corporation, such as the corporate name, the number of directors, and the number of shares that can be issued. The Certificate of Amendment to Articles is used to change the articles of incorporation, such as corporate purpose/objectives and the articles of merger. Both documents must be signed by a majority of the corporation's directors and must include a valid corporate seal.
