A notarized statement reciting the name change if the registrant is an individual; 2. A certificate of fact reciting the name change duly authenticated by the proper officer of the state or country if the registrant is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or limited liability limited partnership incorporated or organized in another state or country and does not have a certificate of authority to transact business in North Dakota; or 3. An amendment or application for amended certificate of authority for a registrant that is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or limited liability limited partnership registered with the secretary of state.
