To move forward with the Wyoming Secretary of State, you will typically use their standard form “Amendment to Certificate of Trust”.

​Because Wyoming requires specific formatting for their records, you should follow these steps to ensure your filing is accepted without being returned for corrections.

​📋 Filing Guide for the Gonen Statutory Trust

​Step 1: Download the Form

​Visit the Wyoming Secretary of State (SOS) website and download the Amendment to Certificate of Trust form. It is a simple, one-page cover sheet.

​Step 2: Complete the Basic Information

  • ​Name of Trust: Gonen Statutory Trust.
  • ​Date of Filing: (Look this up on the Wyoming SOS business search if you don’t have it handy).
  • ​Amendment Text: On the form where it asks for the amendment, you should write: “See attached Exhibit A.”

​Step 3: Prepare “Exhibit A” (The Legal Language)

​Since the SOS form has limited space, it is best practice to attach a separate sheet titled Exhibit A containing the specific “Section 9” language you need.

Pro-Tip for 2026

​Wyoming often processes paper filings faster if you include a duplicate copy of the filing and a self-addressed stamped envelope. They will stamp the duplicate “Filed” and mail it back to you for your records immediately.
