How to File a Connecticut LLC Amendment

Amend Certificate of Organization for a Connecticut LLC

As your Connecticut LLC evolves, you may need to update the information provided on your initial Certificate of Organization. For the most part, these changes can be made by filing a Certificate of Amendment.

When do I need to file the Connecticut Certificate of Amendment?

An LLC in Connecticut can file a Certificate of Amendment to update the entity’s name, member/manager information, and principal/mailing address. However, if you’re not changing your entity name, the Certificate of Amendment is not the most cost-effective option. For the following changes, use these forms to save a few dollars:

• Business Address: File a Change of Business Address Form ($50)
• Members or managers: File an Interim Notice of Change or Member/Manager Form ($20)

Is there anything I can’t update by filing a Connecticut LLC amendment?

You can’t change your Connecticut registered agent by filing an amendment. To update this information, file a Change of Agent Form OR Change of Agent’s Address Form. Both have a $50 filing fee.

Can I make changes on my Connecticut Annual Report instead of filing an amendment?

Yes. If you’re within 30 days of your due date, you can update your member/manager information, business address, and registered agent information when filing your Connecticut Annual Report ($80).
