(805 ILCS 310/4) (from Ch. 32, par. 308)
Sec. 4.
Duplicate originals of the articles of incorporation shall be
delivered to the Secretary of State. If the Secretary of State finds that
the articles of incorporation conform to law, he shall, when all franchise
taxes, fees, and charges have been paid: (a) Endorse on each of such
duplicate originals the word "Filed," and the month, day, and year of the
filing thereof; (b) file one of such duplicate originals in his office; (c) return a true copy of the articles of incorporation to the incorporators or their representative, who shall within 15 days file such document
for record in the office of the recorder of the county in which
the registered office of the corporation in this State is situated. Upon
the filing of the articles of incorporation by the Secretary of State,
the corporate existence shall begin, and such articles of incorporation
shall be conclusive evidence, except as against the State, that all
conditions precedent required to be performed by the incorporators have
been complied with and that the corporation has been incorporated under
this Act.
