INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING A CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Section 7-13-8 of the General Laws of Rhode Island, as amended The attached form is designed to meet minimal statutory filing requirements pursuant to the relevant statutory provision. This form and the information provided are not substitutes for the advice and services of an attorney and/or tax specialist. 1. To form a limited partnership, a Certificate of Limited Partnership (Form No. 300) must be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State, Corporations Division, at the above address. When the certificate is properly completed, signed, and submitted with the correct filing fee, the Secretary of State shall file the certificate of Limited Partnership. 2. The Certificate of Limited Partnership must be accompanied by a filing fee of $100.00, and payment should be made payable to the Rhode Island Secretary of State. 3. The name of any limited partnership must be "distinguishable upon the records of the secretary of state." This means the Office of the Secretary of State will deny a request for a name if such name is identical to or not distinguishable from any entity, name reservation, or registration on file with the Business Section of the Corporations Division. The limited partnership name shall contain the word "limited partnership" or the letters and punctuation "L.P." A preliminary name availability check can be made by checking the Name Availability Database on our website, or by phoning us at the above telephone number. This preliminary check is not statutorily required, is not binding upon the Secretary of State, and does not ensure that the name will be available upon filing the Certificate of Limited Partnership. It is suggested that you do not make any financial expenditures or execute documents utilizing the name based upon a preliminary name availability check. The final determination as to availability of the name will be made when the documents are submitted for filing. 4. Each limited partnership shall have and continuously maintain in this state a specified office which may be, but need not be, a place of its business in this state at which shall be kept the records required by Section 7-13-5 of the General Laws, as amended. 5. Each limited partnership shall have and continuously maintain in this state a registered agent upon whom any process, notice or demand required or permitted by law to be served upon the limited partnership may be served. The registered agent must be an individual resident of this state, a domestic corporation, or a foreign corporation authorized to do business in this state. The office of the registered agent must be reflected as a street address and not a post office box. 6. The Certificate of Limited Partnership must be executed by each general partner. If you have any questions, please call us at (401) 222-3040, Monday through Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
