North Dakota Century Code Title 10. Corporations § 10-15-52.3. Amended certificate of authority

A foreign cooperative authorized to transact business in this state must procure an amended certificate of authority if it changes its cooperative name or desires to pursue in this state purposes other than those set forth in its prior application for a certificate of authority by making application to the secretary of state.

The requirements in respect to the application and the issuance of an amended certificate of authority and the effect thereof are the same as an original application for a certificate of authority.

In addition, an application must be accompanied by a certificate of fact of amendment duly authenticated by the proper officer of the state or country where the cooperative is incorporated.

A foreign cooperative which amends its name and applies for an amended certificate of authority, and is the owner of a service mark, trademark, or trade name, is a general partner named in a fictitious name certificate, or is a general partner in a limited partnership which is on file with the secretary of state, must change or amend its name in each registration when it files an application for an amended certificate of authority.
