Iowa Articles of Merger [490.1106] is a document that must be filed with the Iowa Secretary of State to legally combine two or more existing domestic or foreign corporations into a single new or existing corporation. The document includes the names and addresses of all the merging corporations, the name and address of the new corporation, the date of the merger, and the name and address of the new corporation's registered agent. There are two types of Iowa Articles of Merger: Domestic Merger and Foreign Merger. A Domestic Merger is when two or more Iowa corporations merge to form a new Iowa corporation, and a Foreign Merger is when two or more corporations from different states merge to form a new corporation in Iowa. The Articles must be accompanied by a Certificate of Merger, which must be signed by an authorized representative of each of the merging corporations.
