The seal used to bind the corporation by the signature of the director will need to be changed along with the corporation’s name to match the new name of the corporation.

Registration of the change in the name of the corporation must be made with the Department of Commerce (DBD) within 14 days of the date the change is approved by the shareholders. A new certificate of incorporation, bearing the new name of the company, will be issued.
