STEP 2
FORM YOUR NORTH DAKOTA LLC

A North Dakota limited liability company is formed by filing a document called The Articles of Organization with the North Dakota Secretary of State.

The fee for filing the Articles of Organization is $135. Checks must be payable to "Secretary of State" and must be for U.S. negotiable funds. Payment may also be made by credit card using VISA, Master Card, or Discover.

The completed Articles of Organization and filing fee should be submitted to:

Business Division
Secretary of State
State of North Dakota
600 E Boulevard Ave Dept 108
Bismarck ND 58505-0500
701-328-4284

To complete The Articles of Organization you must include:

The name of the LLC. The name must include the words limited liability company, LLC or L.L.C. at the end of the entity name.
The name and address of the registered agent. You may not use a PO Box. A registered agent must be an individual residing in the state, a domestic corporation or a foreign corporation authorized to do business in the state. The registered office is typically the business office of the registered agent. It need not be the same office of the LLC’s business office. If you or one of the members of the LLC has an address in the state you may use that address for register agent purposes.
The duration of the LLC. Indicate if the LLC will be “perpetual”.
The purpose for forming the LLC. An LLC may list any lawful purpose.
The signature of the organizer(s): The organizer(s) must sign the Articles of Organization. The organizer(s) is generally not required to be a member of the LLC.
