You should also print the page containing the tracking number and retain it for your records.
Note: The forms offered for articles of incorporation and the electronic filing questions are basic and are the minimum requirements necessary to form a corporation. Each corporation is a separate entity and, as such, has specific goals, needs, and requirements. Additional information may be inserted if you mail your articles for filing. If you file online, only the minimum information can be added. The Division of Corporations recommends that all documents be reviewed by legal counsel. The Division is a filing office only and does not render any legal, accounting, or tax advice. The professional advice of an attorney to ascertain exact compliance with all statutory requirements is strongly recommended..
