CA Secretary of State Forms and Documents

The CA Secretary of State is California’s state-level Secretary of State office. The name identifies a government office, while the published forms associated with it cover business-entity records and a notary public name-change application.

The business forms include correction and cancellation certificates, plus information statements distinguished for LLCs and domestic or foreign stock entities. A separate Notary Public Name Change Application addresses a different document need. Together, these titles help users identify whether they need a business-record document or the notary name-change form.

About the CA Secretary of State

The published forms associated with the CA Secretary of State cover business-entity records and a separate notary public name-change application. Within the business-related group, correction and cancellation certificates have distinct purposes: one is explicitly a certificate of correction, while the other is a certificate of cancellation. The collection also includes information statements identified for LLCs and for domestic and foreign stock entities, allowing users to distinguish those statement categories by entity type.

These titles represent both correction or cancellation documents and entity-specific information statements, rather than one general-purpose business form. The Notary Public Name Change Application is a separate category and should not be confused with the LLC or stock-entity statements. The form names help identify the document topics, but do not establish what supporting materials or process may apply.
