Add any comments if necessary. Provide the return address - the Secretary of State may send you correspondence, so enter a correct mailing address.
2. State the name of your limited liability company the way it appears in the official records. If you represent a foreign company registered under an alternate name, write it down.

4. In case your company was not formed in California, specify the foreign country or state where the business has started.
