Download only. Preparation notes for an ordinary new domestic Delaware LLC, not a certificate for submission. Delaware calls its filing a Certificate of Formation. No state filing, registered-agent service or legal representation is provided. A signature here does not create an LLC.

PREPARATION CHECK
Confirm that the name meets Delaware requirements and is available, and confirm the agent and physical registered office before preparing the official document. Availability is not a trademark clearance. This worksheet does not certify these checks.
OFFICIAL DOCUMENT AND EXECUTION
Transfer verified details to the current state Certificate of Formation or an appropriately prepared equivalent, using the official instructions: https://corpfiles.delaware.gov/LLC_Forms/LLC%20Formation.pdf. The authorized person executes that certificate in the manner the state accepts; the worksheet is not the document to file.
SUBMISSION AND ACCEPTANCE
Use the current state forms directory https://corp.delaware.gov/newentit09/ and submission instructions https://corp.delaware.gov/document-upload-service-information/. Confirm current fees and any cover memo requirements directly with the state before submission. Submit the completed official document yourself or through your authorized provider.
