Are there any restricted words that cannot be used in an entities name or purpose without prior authorization?
There are certain words that require prior authorization by the appropriate regulatory authority for use in the name and/or purpose of any organizational document or amendment filed with the Secretary of State. Prior authorization is required regardless if the word stands alone or if the word is “part” of a word. Failure to receive and provide proof of authorization will result in the rejection of the document. Please click here to be taken to the restricted word list.
