So...Am I an LLC now?

[Gabriel A.]

I submitted my information and filing fees to my Secretary of State through their online filing system. They e-mailed me an automated receipt confirmation.

Anything else I need to do? Do I need to file the Articles of Organization or is that just for my own use?

Do I need to register with a fictitious name?

I am hoping to open a bank account in my LLC's name soon, so let me know what additional steps are necessary for that.

Thanks!
