Application to correct articles

All business corporations that wish to correct an obvious error in their articles must request a correction of articles. Such errors may relate to references, data input, transcription or mistakes of a similar nature.

This request must be submitted to the enterprise registrar by the board of directors or the representative of the business corporation within 60 days of the issuing of the certificate pertaining to the articles containing the error.

To determine the fees that apply to the application to correct articles, please consult the fee schedule.

Important

The cancellation of articles of incorporation could infringe the rights of the creditors or shareholders. If such is the case, a copy of the judgment authorizing the cancellation or a copy of the shareholders resolution must be appended to the application to correct articles.

The enterprise registrar will replace the articles of incorporation filed in the enterprise register with the corrected articles.

A new certificate will be issued only if the correction necessitates the modification of the text of the certificate already issued. In this case, a copy of the corrected articles and the certificate will be sent to the corporation or its representative. The correction is retroactive to the date and the time, as the case may be, appearing on the certificate that accompanies the corrected articles.
