The California Organizational Affidavit is a document used in the state of California to provide proof that a business entity has been legally established and is operating in compliance with state law. It is typically used in situations where a business needs to provide proof of its organizational structure to a third party for legal or contractual reasons. The California Organizational Affidavit is also known as a Statement of Information. There are two different types of California Organizational Affidavit: the initial Statement of Information and the Biennial Statement of Information. The initial Statement of Information is filed when a business is first incorporated and is used to provide the state with the necessary information to establish the entity. The Biennial Statement of Information is filed every two years and is used to update the state on any changes in the business’s organizational structure. Both types of California Organizational Affidavit must be signed and notarized by a company representative and filed with the California Secretary of State.
