Name of Applicant.  Provide the name of the person wishing to reserve the name.  If the reservation is on behalf of a business organization, indicate the name of the business organization, not the name of the individual(s).  The name of the applicant will be verified when the name is used as an entity name or as a trade name.

Applicant Mailing Address.  List the complete mailing address of the applicant, including zip code.

Name to be Reserved.  State the name to be reserved.

Restricted Words.  Inclusion of any of these terms: “bank” or “trust” or any derivative thereof, “credit union”, “savings and loan”, “insurance”, “casualty”, “mutual”, or “surety” may be prohibited or restricted by Colorado law, and may be regulated by other state agencies (for example, use of the term “bank” requires Division of Banking approval).  Mark only one box.  If more than one term appears in the name, choose the term that best describes the organizational structure of the entity.

This perjury notice applies to each individual who causes this document to be delivered to the secretary of state, whether or not such individual is named in the document as one who has caused it to be delivered.

Filing Information.  State the name(s) and address(es) of the individual(s) causing this document to be delivered for filing.  This information is required for the Colorado Secretary of State to deliver notice if the filing of the document is refused (§7-90-301, C.R.S.).  The individual(s) listed will be held responsible for complying with the above notice.   The document need not state the true name and address of more than one individual.  However, if you wish to state the name and address of any additional individuals causing the document to be delivered for filing, mark this box ٱ and include an attachment stating the name and address of such individuals.
