How do I change my LLC name in Florida?

To change your LLC name in Florida, file an Amendment to Articles of Organization with the Florida Division of Corporations. Your new name must include a required designator (Limited Liability Company, L.L.C., or LLC), be distinguishable in state records, and comply with naming restrictions under Fla. Stat. § 605.0112. File online at https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/ or submit by mail to P.O. Box 6327, Tallahassee, FL 32314.

Before You File

Search the Florida business database at https://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ByName to verify your desired name is available and distinguishable from existing records. This prevents rejection and processing delays.

Filing Your Amendment

Submit an Amendment to Articles of Organization through the Florida Division of Corporations' online filing system at https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/start-business/efile/fl-llc/ or by mail to:

Florida Division of Corporations
P.O. Box 6327, Tallahassee, FL 32314
(Courier: 2661 Executive Center Circle, Tallahassee, FL 32301)

Contact (850) 245-6052 for current filing fees and processing times.

Name Requirements

Your new LLC name must:

Include a required designator: Limited Liability Company, L.L.C., or LLC (Fla. Stat. § 605.0112)
Be distinguishable in the Florida Department of State's records
Comply with restricted word rules under Fla. Stat. § 605.0112

After Approval

Once the Division approves your amendment, update your business records, licenses, and tax registrations to reflect the new name. If you operate under a fictitious name (DBA), file a separate fictitious name registration with the Florida Division of Corporations for $50.00.

Notify your bank, vendors, clients, and the IRS of the name change to maintain clear business records.
