North Dakota Code 10-33-130 – Foreign corporation – Amendments to the certificate of authority
If any statement in the application for a certificate of authority by a foreign corporation is false when made or any arrangements or other facts described change, making the application inaccurate in any respect, the foreign corporation shall promptly file with the secretary of state an application for an amended certificate of authority executed by an authorized person on forms prescribed by the secretary of state correcting the statement and, in the case of a change in the foreign corporation’s name, a certificate to that effect authenticated by the proper officer of the jurisdiction under the laws of which the foreign corporation is incorporated.
