Official statutory text
10-33-130. Foreign corporation - Amendments to the certificate of authority
If any statement in the application for a certificate of authority by a foreign corporation is
false when made or any arrangements or other facts described change, making the application
inaccurate in any respect, the foreign corporation shall promptly file with the secretary of state
an application for an amended certificate of authority executed by an authorized person on
forms prescribed by the secretary of state correcting the statement and, in the case of a change
in the foreign corporation's name, a certificate to that effect authenticated by the proper officer of
the jurisdiction under the laws of which the foreign corporation is incorporated. In the case of a
dissolution or merger, a foreign corporation that is not the surviving organization need not file an
application for an amended certificate of authority but shall promptly file with the secretary of
state a certificate to that effect authenticated by the proper officer of the jurisdiction under the
laws of which the foreign corporation is incorporated. A foreign nonprofit corporation that
changes the foreign nonprofit corporation's name and applies for an amended certificate of
authority and that is the owner of a service mark, trademark, or trade name, a general partner
named in a fictitious name certificate, a general partner in a limited partnership or a limited
liability limited partnership, or a managing partner in a limited liability partnership that is on file
with the secretary of state shall change the foreign nonprofit corporation's name in each of the
foregoing registrations that apply if the foreign nonprofit corporation files an application for an
amended certificate of authority.
