Corporation Procedure for Amendment or Dissolution:

1. Using the paperwork for amending or dissolving a corporation below, return to NCVMB along with a copy of the proposed Articles of Amendment/Dissolution from Secretary of State
2. A letter of certification will be returned - this will need to be filed with the Secretary of State's office, along with the original Articles of Amendment/Dissolution
3. Notify the NCVMB office by fax/mailed copy of finalization by the Secretary of State
4. NOTE: Any type of amendment/change (e.g. corporation name, shareholders, members, etc.) or dissolution has to have the amendment/dissolution paperwork filled out and submitted to the NCVMB along with your amended Articles. You will then receive an Amended Letter of Certification from the Board to submit to the Secretary of State.  This is the same process as starting a corporation only there is no fee.
