Step 1: Review the PLLC’s operating agreement and articles of organization. These two formation documents may contain information about specific procedures for admitting a new member.

Step 2: Amend the PLLC operating agreement and articles of organization as needed to include the new member. If the new member practices a specialty or does not practice the same specialty as the initial member(s), it may be necessary to amend the PLLC company name per NYS Department of Education naming restrictions. It may also be necessary to perform a PLLC name clearance search if changing or updating the PLLC name.

Step 3: Contact the NYS Department of Education. The new members name, residence address, license number, date of admission, and other information must be provided on official company letterhead.

Step 4: Contact us if you need assistance adding a member to your NYS PLLC.
