• Trust - A copy of the amendment to the trust instrument, or a resolution to amend the trust instrument, showing the effective date of the change of name and signed by at least one trustee.
• An Unincorporated Association - A copy of the amendment to the Articles of Association, Constitution, or other organizing documents, showing the effective date of the change of name and signed by at least two officers, trustees, or members.
• A government entity, political subdivision, instrumentality of government - Documentation from the governmental unit that created the entity showing the (new) name of the entity and a letter signed by a person authorized by the creating governmental unit.
