Corporation Reinstatement, Revival, and Revivor Packet
COLORADO CORPORATION REINSTATEMENT, REVIVAL, AND REVIVOR PACKET
Broad dissolution route, corporation-specific file. Part 10 of article 90 permits reinstatement of qualifying dissolved domestic entities. This packet narrows that route to a domestic business corporation and requires corporate approval analysis.
1. STATUS AND AGE RECORD
| Item | Verified information |
|---|---|
| Exact corporate name | [________________________________] |
| Colorado ID number | [________________________________] |
| Formation date | [__/__/____] |
| Dissolution date | [__/__/____] ☐ Unknown in state record |
| Time dissolved on filing date | [________________________________] |
| Statute governing before dissolution | [________________________________] |
| Principal office | [________________________________] |
| Registered agent / address | [________________________________] |
Attach the Secretary of State summary and history, constituent filed document, articles and amendments, bylaws, stock ledger, dissolution material, ownership record, and every creditor, owner, or attorney-general proceeding relevant to dissolution.
2. SECTION 7-90-1002 APPROVAL GATES
The corporation must obtain the vote or consent required by its governing documents or, if those documents are silent, the vote or consent sufficient for dissolution under the organic statutes. Unless the governing document provides otherwise, a person with authority to bring about or prevent dissolution must not have voted against or delivered a written objection to reinstatement.
Additional gates apply when dissolution was initiated by owners, creditors, or the attorney general: initiating owners must affirmatively consent; initiating creditors must be paid or discharged in full; and attorney-general grounds must be remedied with attorney-general consent.
☐ Governing-document and organic-statute approval threshold documented.
☐ No disqualifying vote or written objection remains unresolved.
☐ Every initiating-owner, initiating-creditor, and attorney-general condition addressed.
3. TWO FILING TRACKS UNDER § 7-90-1003
Dissolved fewer than two years
Articles state the former and post-reinstatement names, formation date, former governing statute, satisfaction of § 7-90-1002, principal-office address, and registered-agent name and address.
Dissolved two years or longer, or period unknown
Articles include the same core information plus the dissolution date if known. The filer must also deliver an affidavit that the individual has entity authority to sign and act, and a copy of that individual's government-issued photographic identification.
If the constituent filed document is no longer publicly accessible in the Secretary of State's electronic records, a true and complete copy must be attached.
| Filing control | Verified value |
|---|---|
| Track selected | ☐ Under two years ☐ Two years or more / unknown |
| Required approval record | [________________________________] |
| Authority affidavit required | ☐ Yes ☐ No |
| Photo identification required | ☐ Yes ☐ No |
| Constituent-document copy required | ☐ Yes ☐ No |
| Submission / acceptance dates | [________________________________] |
4. NAME AND EFFECT
Under § 7-90-1004, a compliant former name is restored. If it does not comply, the post-reinstatement name is the former name followed by “reinstated” and the effective date of the articles.
Under § 7-90-1005, existence is deemed to have continued without interruption, business resumes as if dissolution had not occurred, and debts, obligations, and liabilities are determined on that basis. Rights arising from reliance on dissolution before notice of reinstatement remain protected.
| Gap-period act or reliance issue | Date | Affected person | Separate review |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Description] | [__/__/____] | [Name] | ☐ |
| [Description] | [__/__/____] | [Name] | ☐ |
5. FILING-DAY AND POST-ACCEPTANCE CONTROL
☐ Online instructions, attachments, signer, registered-agent consent, fee, and identity-handling requirements rechecked on filing day.
☐ Official record shows the intended status and post-reinstatement name.
☐ Accepted articles, affidavit, receipt, approvals, and current entity history saved.
☐ Taxes, licenses, insurance, banks, contracts, litigation, permits, and foreign qualifications reviewed separately.

About This Template
Corporate documents govern how a company makes decisions, records them, and handles disputes between owners, directors, and officers. Proper corporate paperwork is what lets a business take advantage of limited liability, pass clean audits, and survive an acquisition or investor review. Skipping formalities like written resolutions and signed consents is one of the fastest ways for a business owner to lose personal asset protection.
