- Original Articles (New Filing, formation document)
- Restated Articles
- Articles of Amendment

Annual Reports or other Specific Document requests
Annual Reports are not a part of the Document File, but any one can be ordered as a specific document. (Annual Reports in recent years all display in the Summary History as “Amended Annual Report” even if there were no actual changes made.) Before January 2003 annual reports were not kept as permanent records, and there are no documents for annual payments without a report.
Any of the following may be ordered as a specific document, on plain paper or certified, for the fee as shown on the form:
- Annual Report
- Amended Annual Report
- Amendment to Annual Report/Information Statement
- Registered Agent Change
