The Certificate of Amendment would be used to change ownership; it is then filed with the Secretary of State’s office. Also, even if keeping the same name, the LLC would require a new EIN. Does that make sense?

Hi there! I’m Liz — I’ve been an attorney for more than a decade and I’m here to assist. So I can best help, is the transfer due to a sale?
No.
Would it remain an LLC?
Yes.

Perfect. What all are you filing?
Ownership and address.
Are you filing a Certificate of Amendment?
