Reference · LLC Law §206

What the published notice actually says

The notice is short — six or seven dense lines of legal boilerplate — but every element is load-bearing. Here's a complete example, then what each piece means and where filings get tripped up.

A complete example

Legal NoticesAlbany County
NOTICE OF FORMATION

Notice of formation of HUDSON & VINE LLC. Articles of Organization filed with the Secretary of State of New York (SSNY) on May 12, 2026. Office location: Albany County. SSNY designated as agent of the LLC upon whom process against it may be served. SSNY shall mail process to: 50 Hudson Ave, Albany, NY 12207. Purpose: any lawful activity.

Illustrative example — your notice is drafted from your LLC's actual state record.

Element by element

  • The LLC name — must match Department of State records character-for-character, including punctuation and "LLC" vs "L.L.C.". A mismatched name is the most common reason certificates get rejected.
  • Filing date with SSNY — the date your Articles of Organization became effective; it also starts your 120-day clock.
  • Office location (county) — determines which county clerk's designated newspapers you must use. County, not street address, is the legally operative part here.
  • SSNY as agent for service of process — standard language reflecting that the Secretary of State accepts lawsuits on your LLC's behalf.
  • Mailing address for process — where SSNY forwards legal papers. Usually your office or registered agent address.
  • Purpose — "any lawful activity" is the standard catch-all; a specific purpose is allowed but rarely wise.

Why wording precision matters

Every notice we draft is kept to the statutory minimum — everything §206 requires, nothing decorative — and checked character-for-character against your Department of State record before it publishes. That precision is exactly what keeps a filing from being rejected weeks later, and it's included in your flat price.

We handle the whole thing

You never touch a legals desk.

Drafted, verified, and published for you.
