A Connecticut Certificate of Amendment (Stock Corp) is a legally-binding document used to make changes to a Connecticut-based corporation's existing articles of incorporation. The amendment must be submitted to the Connecticut Secretary of State for approval. Common changes include changes to the corporation's name, purpose, authorized shares of stock, board of directors, or voting rights. There are two types of Connecticut Certificate of Amendment (Stock Corp): the Standard Amendment and the Restated Amendment. The Standard Amendment is used to make changes that don’t involve a complete restatement of the corporation’s articles of incorporation. The Restated Amendment is used to make changes that involve a complete rewriting of the corporation’s articles of incorporation.
