Choosing a company name

What this means in Institution and how it affects your account.

Updated 2026-07-28

This article explains choosing a company name so you know what to expect in your Institution workspace.

What this article covers

  • Where this appears in your formation request.
  • What the information tells you about the current state of your account.
  • Who to contact when something does not match your expectation.

How it works

Institution keeps one record for your company, and the workspace reflects that record. When something changes, the record is updated first and the formation team works from the same information you see, so documents delivered to you stay consistent with what is on file.

Where to look

  1. 1Sign in to your Institution workspace.
  2. 2Open My Services and select your formation service.
  3. 3Review the formation details on file.
  4. 4Provide or confirm the requested information and submit.
