INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP (LLP) REGISTRATION

A professional LLP must file a Professional Limited Liability Partnership Registration with the Secretary of State. Anyone acting as a LLP without a

registration in effect is jointly and severally liable for all debts and liabilities incurred or arising as a result.

The following numbers correspond to the numbered sections on the front of this form.

FILING FEES: New registration with two managing partners $35

For each additional managing partner $3 (but not to exceed $250)

Amended registration $25

(Checks must be payable to "Secretary of State" and must be for U.S. negotiable funds. The Secretary of State accepts credit card

payments using VISA, MasterCard, or Discover.)

Indicate whether the application is being submitted for a new registration or an amended registration.

Attach a certificate from the North Dakota regulating board of the profession identified in number 10 certifying that each of the partners who will practice

the profession in North Dakota is licensed to practice in North Dakota.

Provide the name of the LLP. The name must include the words "professional limited liability partnership" or "limited liability partnership", or the

abbreviations "P.L.L.P.", "PLLP", L.L.P. or LLP.

The name may not be the same as, or deceptively similar to, any corporate name, limited liability company name, trade name, limited partnership name,

LLP name, limited liability limited partnership name, or a name which is in any manner reserved with the Secretary of State.

A LLP's Federal ID number is helpful to maintain accurate records. Please provide if you have one.

Privacy: In compliance with North Dakota Law, Federal ID numbers and social security numbers are not disclosed to the public. They are used by the

Secretary of State to maintain accurate limited liability partnership files. Therefore, while voluntary disclosure is requested, failure to do so will not result

in rejection of the registration.

Provide a complete address of the principal executive office of the LLP. In this section, an address must include a street or rural address, a postal

box if applicable, and the city, state and zip code with 4 digit extension. This address cannot only be a post office box number.

Check either box to define the effective date of the LLP. A LLP may be effective at the time the registration is filed by the Secretary of State, or at a later

date within 90 days after the filing. If a later effective date is preferred, specify the date (month, day and year). If neither box is checked, the registration

will be effected when filed with the Secretary of State.

The telephone number of the principal executive office of the LLP is required.

Provide a toll-free telephone number if the LLP has one.

b) A domestic or foreign corporation, or

c) A domestic or foreign limited liability company.

A corporation or limited liability company appointed as a noncommercial registered agent must be registered with the Secretary of State, be in good

standing, and have a business address in North Dakota. If a corporation or limited liability company is named as a noncommercial registered agent,

provide the "correct" name of the organization.

Seek the approval of the party before naming them as the commercial or noncommercial registered agent. Proof of the approval is not required to be

filed with the Secretary of State.

If a commercial registered agent is being appointed, provide the correct name as registered with the North Dakota Secretary of State. If the name in

number 9A is not the same as registered by the commercial registered agent, the name will be corrected by the Secretary of State when the document
