FAQ:

IS IT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO CHANGE THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION WHEN CHANGING THE NAME?
    A name change is not accompanied by a change in the articles of association only if the typical articles of association are used.
    However, up to now, the application of typical articles of association has some limitations.
    Therefore, in most cases, if the name is changed, registration of a new version of the Articles of Association (sheet of changes) will be required.

SHOULD THE COMPANY NAME BE UNIQUE?
    There is no direct indication of the need to respect the uniqueness of the name when registering a limited liability company.
    However, the Russian Civil Code provides for the possibility to protect its corporate name, up to the prohibition of its use by other legal entities (Article 1252 of the Civil Code).

SHOULD THE COMPANY HAVE A NAME IN eNGLISH (OR ANOTHER) LANGUAGE?
    The Company must have a full and may have a short name in the Russian language.
    The company has the right (but not the obligation) to have its name also in any other language.
    It should be noted, however, that information on the name of the company in a foreign language is contained only in the Articles of Association and other documents of the Company, but is not entered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

WHO SHOULD BE INFORMED ABOUT THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME?
    After registration of changes in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities it is necessary:
    • notify counterparties (suppliers, partners, customers);
    • notify the bank where the company's current account is opened;
    • to make changes to EDS in the Certification Authority;
    • notify the licensing authority (if there are any licenses);
    • to make changes in advertising and other company materials
      etc.
