  "description": "The Corporate and Business Registration Department (CBRD)'s \"Application to Change Name of a Foundation\", prescribed under section 21(1)(a) of the Foundations Act 2012 and distributed directly and unauthenticated from the Department's own downloadable-forms page. A registered Foundation's Secretary files this application to change the Foundation's registered name, identifying the existing record by its own Foundation number before stating the proposed new name. Disclosed as open backlog on this registry's already-published `mu/cbrd/limited-partnership-name-reservation` (LP1) schema's own VERIFICATION.md record, alongside the Annual Return (LP3), which remains unauthored. This schema does not submit the application itself; the live source and the Department's own current requirements are always authoritative.
