Which corporate records actually document a name change made mid-case?

Sources checked:

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Four dated items carry the story: the certificate of amendment with its effective date, a current registry extract showing the same file number, the authorising resolution, and confirmation that the tax identification number is unchanged. Add a fresh employment letter naming both the former and new company names.

Assembling dated amendment records for a pending file

File these where the USCIS instructions for the case direct; the Form I-140G supporting documents are submitted through the official portal named in those instructions. Do not reissue older documents under the new name — a contract signed in 2025 keeps the name it was signed under, and the amendment explains the difference. Provide certified translations where a document is not in English, and keep one cover page listing both names.

Cross-reference every document already on file that still names the entity by its earlier name instead of correcting those documents retroactively, since altering a record after the fact removes the very history the amendment is meant to explain. Confirm separately that the ownership percentages and control already documented in earlier submissions remain accurate after the change, because a name change sometimes accompanies a restructuring that also needs to be disclosed on its own terms. Notify the appropriate program contact once the change is confirmed, so future correspondence uses matching information instead of the file quietly splitting into two identities that a reviewer has to reconcile later.
