Hawaii Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are documents that provide the organizational structure, purpose, and powers of a corporation in the state of Hawaii. They are typically used to register a company with the state and serve as the official record of the company’s existence. The documents may include information such as the company name, registered agent, principal office address, number of authorized shares of stock, and the purpose of the company. There are two types of Hawaii Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation: Short Form and Long Form. The Short Form is used for companies that have not previously been incorporated in Hawaii and are starting fresh. The Long Form is used for companies that have already been incorporated in Hawaii, but are making changes to the Articles of Incorporation. Both versions of the Articles of Incorporation must be signed by the company's officers and filed with the state.
