Data inserted by the filer onto the "Filing Information" screens
will be reviewed for compliance with statutory requirements. If all statutory
requirements are met for the entity type in question, the data will then
be submitted to create Articles of Incorporation, Articles of Organization,
or a Certificate of Limited Partnership.
There is no immediate written confirmation
of filing. No response will be sent back by fax or email confirming
that a document has been "received". A certified copy of filed documents
will be sent via email if one is ordered and paid for at the time of filing.
Typically, an image of the filed document will be available for viewing
on our Web site the day after the filing has been completed.
It is very important to make sure all data entered is correct before submitting
the data for filing. Once a document is submitted to the Florida Division
of Corporations, it cannot be changed or altered by our office or the
remitter. No phone calls can be made to the filing section to ask for
changes or to request that a document be flagged to "not file".
Pursuant to applicable Florida Statutes, corporations and limited liability
companies may submit (with an additional fee, and within 30 business
days of filing) Articles of Correction to correct a filed document. Corrections
and/or changes to a filed document may also be made by filing an amendment
- refer to pertinent Florida Statutes for details.
For the purpose of filing documents on-line, the "typed" name
of the individual "signing" the document is sufficient under s.15.16,
Florida Statutes. Electronic signatures have the same legal effect as
original signatures. Please be aware that typing in someone's name/signature
without their permission constitutes forgery.
Once the Florida Incorporation document is received, it is reviewed for
statutory compliance. If the document must be rejected, a letter stating
the deficiencies will be emailed back to the remitter for correction.
To make corrections, the filer will gain access from our web site to the
original data submitted by using the "confirmation number" and
the "pin
number" supplied
in the reject letter. The user can then "enter" the correct data
and resubmit the document at no additional fee.
By law, we cannot provide legal advice and we cannot
discuss, answer questions or otherwise assist our clients in completing the
online form.
