Application By Foreign Limited Partnership For Authorization To Transact Business Form printable pdf download

Attached is the information on the registration of an out-of-state limited partnership.

Printed on the reverse side of this letter is a copy of Section 620.169, Florida Statutes,

which provides information regarding registration of an out-of-state limited partnership.

Please note this section requires a general partner to sign and swear to the application.

Pursuant to Chapter 620, Florida Statutes, every legal or commercial business entity

listed as a general partner on the attached application must have an active registration or

filing on file with the Florida Department of State before the enclosed documents can be

processed by this office. Should you need the forms and instructions to properly register

a non-individual general partner, please call (850) 487-6051.

The fee to file both the application and affidavit is based on the anticipated amount of

capital contributions of the limited partners that is allocated for the purpose of

transacting business in Florida, at a rate of $7 per $1000, with a fee no less than $52.50

and no more than $1750. An additional $35 is due for the designation of a registered

agent. A certified copy or a certificate under seal may be requested at the time of

registration. An additional $52.50 is due for each certified copy requested and an

additional $8.75 is due for each certificate under seal requested. Please send one check

for the total amount due made payable to the Department of State.

(IMPORTANT: Because Chapter 620, Florida Statutes, requires a foreign limited

partnership to file a supplemental affidavit any time the actual amount of capital

contributions allocated for the purpose of transacting business in Florida exceeds the

anticipated amount of capital contributions listed in number 2 on the attached affidavit and

to pay an additional fee based on the increase at a rate of $7 per $1,000, with a minimum

filing fee of $52.50 and a maximum filing fee of $1750, it is imperative that the limited

partnership review the affidavit for accuracy before submitting it to the Florida Department

of State for processing).

Please be sure to include a cover letter with your documents and check. The cover letter

should include the name of the contact person and his/her telephone number during the

day and the name and address to which the acknowledgment should be addressed.

Recording by telephoning (850) 487-6051, the Registration Section, or by writing:
