# Articles of Organization
Articles of Organization is the formal document filed with a state's Secretary of State to legally create an LLC. It establishes the LLC's existence, name, registered agent, principal address, and management structure. Some states call this document a Certificate of Organization or Certificate of Formation.
The information required varies by state but typically includes: LLC name with designator, registered agent name and address, organizer name, management type (member or manager-managed), and effective date.
