Legal Notice Publications

PUBLICATIONS... When is a company required to publish a legal ad announcing that it has filed certain documents in PA? The following response is geared for clients that contact us for Commercial Registered Office Provider services and not for lawyers, paralegals or other professionals.

First: The filing of Articles of Incorporation, profit or nonprofit must be noticed to the public by placing a legal ad in a newspaper and a legal journal. NOTE: LLC's/LP's are NOT required to publish.

Second: A foreign corporation is required to publish its Qualification to do business, profit or nonprofit, in Pennsylvania.

The "proofs of publication" for the above filings are NOT to be filed with the State. They are to be kept in the company's official records.

NOTE, THERE ARE OTHER FILINGS THAT REQUIRE PUBLICATION BUT THE ABOVE ARE THE MAIN FILINGS THAT WOULD APPLY TO OUR CLIENT BASE.

THE ABOVE INFORMATION IS NOT TO BE RELIED UPON... THE READER IS PRESUMED TO KNOW THE LAW AND SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK WITH LEGAL PROFESSIONALS AND/OR THE STATUTES HER/HIMSELF.
