Minnesota corporations do not usually register officers with the SOS. The Minnesota SOS Articles of Incorporation form does not have a space for officers or directors. Minnesota only requires that the CEO be listed on the annual renewal. However, if you submit custom articles of incorporation, you may include officers and directors. Basically, they are not required to be listed in the articles, but you can change them with an amendment.
No, there is not a space for the corporation to update its business address on the amendment form.
