A New York Certificate of Correction is a document issued by the New York State Department of State. It is used to correct errors or incorrect information that was printed on a previously issued document, such as a Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Authority, Certificate of Dissolution, Certificate of Amendment, Certificate of Merger, Certificate of Correction, and Certificate of Name Change. It is also used to correct errors in a document previously filed with the Department of State. The information that a New York Certificate of Correction corrects must be a typographical error or a minor, non-substantive error; for example, a name or address that was misspelled or a date that was incorrect.
