How can I make changes to the articles of organization for my LLC in Massachusetts?

If you want to make changes to the articles of organization for your LLC in Massachusetts, you can submit a restated certificate to make those changes official and replace the old copy. This process involves two types of restated certificates: a restated certificate of organization that simply restates the rules outlined in the articles of organization, and an amended and restated certificate of organization that includes changes to the articles of organization. When applying for either type of restated certificate, you'll need to provide your LLC's federal identification number, your LLC's name, the original certificate of organization's filing date, the information included in the original certificate of organization, and the information included in any amendments to the restated certificate. If no amendments will be included, a statement indicating that no changes are being made is required. Additionally, a statement clarifying that the restatement is duly executed and is being filed appropriately is necessary. The rules outlined in the restated certificate go into effect as soon as the form is filed. However, you can also specify a future date when the changes will apply. The cost for filing a restated certificate is $100.
