An LLC Operating Agreement is NOT the same as registration documents. It’s an internal document that outlines the ownership and management structure of your business. It does not register your business with the state.
To officially register your LLC, you need to file Articles of Organization (sometimes called a Certificate of Formation or Certificate of Organization) with your state’s Secretary of State office.
You’ve already taken the right step by applying for an EIN, but registration with the state is a separate and required step.
If you’re registering an LLC, what you need is:
- Articles of Organization – File this with your state.
- EIN – You’ve already done this, great!
- Operating Agreement – Not required by all states, but strongly recommended for internal governance.
- Any applicable licenses or permits – Depends on your industry/location.
If you have any other questions or need guidance on what to file next, feel free to ask.

Is there anything else the lawyer should know before connecting? Rest assured they can help with the LLC Operating Agreement.
The only thing I’ve done so far is apply for an EIN.
