The Articles of Amendment Georgia CD 110 is the official form filed with the Georgia Secretary of State's Corporations Division when a corporation needs to change its registered name. Governed by O.C.G.A. §14-3-1005, the form documents the amendment to the original Articles of Incorporation and creates a binding legal record of the name change. The form applies to both nonprofit and profit corporations, with the applicable statutory section varying slightly by entity type.
To complete the filing, the corporation must first obtain board approval through a formal resolution. The proposed new name must then be confirmed as available through the Georgia Corporations Division name search. The completed CD 110 form is submitted to the Secretary of State with a $20 filing fee for domestic corporations. Processing typically takes 3 to 5 business days. Once approved, the corporation must update its registered agent records, state business licenses, and any bank account documentation to reflect the new name. Expedited processing is available for an additional fee when faster turnaround is needed.
Frequent filing errors include omitting the required certification of publication in the county's official organ, leaving the witness signature block incomplete, and failing to verify name availability before submission. Because the Secretary of State staff cannot provide legal guidance, retaining qualified legal counsel before filing is strongly recommended. Corporations making broader changes alongside the name change may need to file additional documents. See the Articles of Organization form for new entity formation, or the Articles of Dissolution form for corporations ending operations in Georgia.
