I'd like to know what the procedure is to change name of a corporation in California?

Answer 1

Here's what the CA Secretary of State says:

"To change the name of a California corporation, the corporation must file a Certificate of Amendment in compliance with the California Corporations Code. Our website includes instructions and downloadable samples for assistance in preparing and filing a Certificate of Amendment for a stock (business) corporation and a Certificate of Amendment for a nonprofit corporation. This information can also be mailed to you upon request."

Hope that helps!
