DENVER, Nov. 14, 2017 -- Starting today, the following forms for business transactions that affect foreign entity filings -- meaning anywhere outside of Colorado -- must be filed online:

Here is the list of what is new and must be filed online:

• Statement of Change Changing the Assumed Entity Name
• Statement of Change Removing the Assumed Entity Name
• Statement of Change Changing the True Name
• Statement of Change Changing the Jurisdiction
• Statement of Change Changing the Entity Form
• Statement of Correction Correcting the Assumed Entity Name
• Statement of Correction Removing an Assumed Entity Name
• Statement of Correction Correcting the True Name
• Statement of Correction Correcting the Jurisdiction
• Statement of Correction Correcting the Entity Form

The filing fee for each of the previous documents now will be $10. Previously, filing a correction cost $150.

Also as of today, the following four statements of correction must be filed on paper. The fee will remain at $150. Those four documents are:

• Statement of Correction Revoking a Filed Document
• Statement of Correction Correcting a Delayed Effective Date
• Statement of Correction Correcting a Mistakenly Filed Domestic Entity that was meant to be a Foreign Entity
• Statement of Correction Correcting a Mistakenly Filed Foreign Entity that was meant to be a Domestic Entity

A month ago, Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams also made other business filings available online. Last year, he slashed the fee for dissolving a Colorado business from $25 to $10. A year before that, Colorado became the first state in the country to offer free business certification services online so customers didn't have to mail the office or visit in person.
