Document background
The Certificate of Incorporation for LLC is the foundational document required when establishing a Limited Liability Company in any U.S. state. This document must be filed with the appropriate state authority to legally create the LLC entity. It includes essential information such as the company name, registered agent, principal office address, management structure, and business purpose. The certificate serves as public record and provides the basic framework for the company's existence, though more detailed operational guidelines are typically outlined in a separate Operating Agreement.
