The Maine Certificate of Organization is a legal document required by the Secretary of State for Maine in order to establish a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the state of Maine. The Certificate of Organization outlines the basic structure of the LLC, including the name, purpose, address, and members of the LLC. It also states the name and address of the LLC's registered agent, who is responsible for receiving legal notices and service of process on behalf of the LLC. There are two types of Maine Certificate of Organization: the Standard Certificate of Organization and the Certificate of Organization for a Professional Limited Liability Company. The Standard Certificate of Organization is used for non-professional LCS, while the Certificate of Organization for a Professional Limited Liability Company is used for LCS engaged in a professional service, such as a law firm, medical practice, accounting firm, or engineering firm.
