More About Corporate Changes and Amendments
 

Corporations

Alberta corporations must notify Corporate Registry, within 15 days, when there is a change of address and/or change in directors for the corporation.

A corporation may amend its name and any of its articles or structure information, such as share capital, restrictions on share transfers, etc. As with all other filings for corporations, One Stop Licence Shop will be pleased to process these changes for you.

Extra Provincial Registrations

Extra provincial corporations must file their changes within one month of the change. One Stop Licence Shop can process your changes of address and/or directors in addition to any changes to the attorney for service, whether it is the primary or alternative attorney.

An extra-provincial corporation can file (in Alberta ), through One Stop Licence Shop, certified-true copies of amendments that were filed in the home jurisdiction.

Societies and Non-profit Companies

Societies, non-profit companies, and religious societies are required to file updates of their addresses and changes to their officers and directors. These must be submitted directly to the Corporate Registry Office.

Corporate Registry Office Location:

John E. Browniee Building
10365-97 Street
Edmonton, Alberta T5J 3W7

Telephone Number:
(780) 427-2311
RITE line within Alberta 310-0000

To process a change to your religious society's name, constitution or bylaws, you must send two copies of the resolution outlining the changes (accompanied by a NUANS Report when the name is being changed) directly to the Corporate Registry Office. Registry Agents are not able to process change notices for societies and non-profit companies.

To process a name change or amend capital or bylaws, a non-profit company must prepare its own documents in accordance with Part 9 of the Companies Act and submit them directly to the Corporate Registry Office. Registry Agents cannot process these.

Business Names, Limited Partnerships, Limited Liability Partnerships
 

A trade name (sole proprietorship) registration may change:

The name of the declarant, (i.e., maiden to married name, or legal name change, etc.) but may not change the actual declarant. The declarant's address may be updated.

One Stop Licence Shop's professional corporate team will be pleased to process these documents for you.

Note: if the trade name is no longer used by the declarant or has been sold or given to another individual, the original trade name must be dissolved and a new trade name must be filed by the new owner or user.

The partnership name, number of partners, and their names and addresses may all be amended. Information relating to the change can be submitted and filled at One Stop Licence Shop.
