How do you change the name of a society?

The name of a society is established by its rules.  The process to change the name is the same process used to change other rules of the society.

Use Form IS2 (Certificate for alteration of rules) to register the change of rules and the change of name.   Please ensure you tick the box in the checklist on Form IS2 to confirm that the alteration of rules includes a name change for the society.

Once the rule change with the new name has been registered, a new certificate of incorporation stating the new name will be sent to the incorporated society.

There is no fee for filing a change of name - it is FREE.
