_Changing_your_organization's_name_Content_v1

To change your organization's name, complete these steps:

1. Submit your proposed name change to any appropriate state office.
2. Submit the name change to the IRS as applicable.
3. Submit a request to RescueGroups.org (see the article about how to contact us) and include a copy of the documentation you submitted in steps 1 and 2. 
4. Once we receive your request and paperwork, we may request a new Veterinarian's Reference letter that uses your new organizational name. (See the section about this letter in the Getting started with RescueGroups.org guide.) You can provide a new letter with your other documentation, but it may not be needed.
5. When your name change is approved, we will change it for you in your RescueGroups.org account. The change to your RescueGroups.org account should update to all websites that use the RescueGroups.org API, that is, all adoption listing websites that receive our data other than the legacy Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet.com websites.
6. Update your Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet.com accounts. We do not update your organization information for those accounts, so you should log in to each account and update your organization's information with them.
