LLC Operating Agreement

An LLC operating agreement is the internal document that sets out how a limited liability company is owned and run by its members. Banks and foreign authorities often want it notarized, and an Apostille makes it valid abroad.

What is an LLC Operating Agreement?

An LLC operating agreement is a written agreement among the members (owners) of a limited liability company that governs how the company is structured and managed. It typically sets out each member’s ownership percentage, capital contributions, voting rights, how profits and losses are shared, how the company is managed, and what happens if a member joins, leaves, or the company is dissolved.

It applies to both single-member and multi-member LLCs and, while not always legally required to form the company, it is strongly recommended to protect the members and the company’s limited-liability status. Banks, investors, and foreign authorities frequently ask to see it, and may require it notarized – and for use in another country, Apostilled – for example when opening a bank account or expanding abroad.

The Importance of an LLC Operating Agreement

An LLC operating agreement matters because, without one, the company is governed only by default state rules that may not reflect what the members intended, and disputes over money or control become harder to resolve. A clear agreement protects the members and reinforces the separation between them and the business.

How to get an LLC Operating Agreement?

You prepare the operating agreement – drafted by a lawyer or from a professional template – covering ownership, management, and profit-sharing, then have the members sign it. Where a bank or foreign authority requires it, the agreement is then signed before a Notary Public and, for international use, submitted for an Apostille.

With NotaryPublic24, the execution and legalisation steps are simple. Upload your operating agreement, verify your identity, and we handle the notarization, Apostille, and any translation in one online flow, so your agreement is ready for banks and authorities at home and abroad.

Notarized LLC Operating Agreement?

A notarized LLC operating agreement is often required when a bank opens a business account, an investor reviews the company, or the LLC operates in another country. Notarization verifies the members’ identities and confirms they signed willingly, and for international use an Apostille makes that notarization valid abroad.

NotaryPublic24 offers a fast and convenient solution. Upload your completed operating agreement, verify your identity with a photo ID, and complete checkout. Within 24 hours you receive your notarized agreement, with an optional Apostille for any Hague Convention country. See all options in our full range of services.

Frequently asked questions

What is a notarization?

Notarization is the official process of having a document legally verified by a notary public. A notary public is an authorized official who verifies the identities of the people signing a document and confirms that the signatures are authentic. This process makes the document legally recognized and trustworthy, helping to prevent fraud and ensuring its validity for important matters like buying a house, signing a contract, or creating a will.

What is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a certificate that makes your document valid in other countries. It's like a stamp of approval that confirms your document is real and can be used in countries that are part of the Apostille Convention. This agreement between countries makes it easier to use important documents like birth certificates and marriage licenses abroad without needing any other certifications. The Apostille verifies the signatures and seals on your document, ensuring it's accepted as genuine.

What is a Notary Public?

A Notary Public is an authorized official who has the right to issue certain certificates. An example is the Apostille stamp. A Notary Public is authorized by the state and applies their official seal and signature to certify the documents.
