For your convenience, computer terminals are available in our office that may be used to file documents. However, for security purposes, these computer terminals cannot be used if an attachment is to be included with an online filing. These computers are not equipped to permit the saving of documents on the computer as files may be corrupt or contain viruses without the user’s knowledge. Articles of Incorporation for a Nonprofit Corporation, a 55 cooperative or a 56 cooperative require the filing to contain an attachment and, as a result, may not be filed using the office’s computers.
