A foreign limited partnership not registered to do business in this state under part 10 of this chapter may register its name, or an alternate name adopted pursuant to § 61-3-1006, if the name is distinguishable on the records of the secretary of state from the names that are not available under § 61-3-112.
To register its name or an alternate name adopted pursuant to § 61-3-1006, a foreign limited partnership must deliver to the secretary of state for filing an application:
Stating the partnership’s name, the jurisdiction and date of its formation, and any alternate name adopted pursuant to § 61-3-1006; and
Accompanied by a certificate of existence, or a document of similar import, from the jurisdiction of formation, bearing a date that is not more than one (1) month prior to the date the application is filed with the secretary of state.
lf the secretary of state finds that the name applied for is available, the secretary of state must register the name for the applicant’s exclusive use.
The registration of a name under this section is effective for one (1) year after the date of registration.
A foreign limited partnership whose name registration is effective may renew the registration for successive one-year periods by delivering, not earlier than three (3) months before the expiration of the registration, to the secretary of state for filing a renewal application that complies with this section. When filed, the renewal application renews the registration for a succeeding one-year period.
A foreign limited partnership whose name registration is effective may register as a foreign limited partnership under the registered name or consent in a signed record to the use of that name by another person that is not an individual.
