What is DLLP-2?
Form DLLP-2, Statement of Amendment/Cancellation of Qualification for Domestic Limited Liability Partnership, is the District of Columbia Corporations Division form used to amend a limited liability partnership's original statement of qualification, file a statement of dissociation of a partner, or cancel the partnership's existence.
By signing it, the partnership applies under Title 29 of the D.C. Code (Business Organizations Act) for a Certificate of Amendment or a Certificate of Cancellation. The entity type and authority printed on the form are Domestic Limited Liability Partnership, § 29–610.01.
The form has seven numbered items: the partnership's name (1), the street address of its principal office (2), the action selected (3), the text of each amendment (4), the cancellation statement (5), the effective date (6) and the name and signature of the Governor or Authorized Person (7 and 7A). A dissociating partner selects Amendment in item 3 and states the partner's name and the dissociation in item 4.
The form warns that a cancellation has no effect on an entity's licensing or tax obligations. The organization remains responsible for compliance in those areas.
Who needs to file DLLP-2?
A domestic limited liability partnership in the District of Columbia uses Form DLLP-2 when it wants to change its original statement of qualification or end its existence as an LLP.
- Partnerships amending their statement of qualification: select Amendment in item 3 and give the text of each amendment adopted in item 4.
- Partnerships cancelling: select Cancellation in item 3. Item 5 then states that the limited liability partnership is cancelling its statement of qualification.
- A dissociating partner: the form says to select Amendment and to state the partner's name and the dissociation in item 4.
The form is signed by the Governor or Authorized Person named in item 7, who signs in item 7A. Signing means agreeing that anyone who makes a false statement can face criminal penalties under DCOC § 22-2405.
Cancelling does not end licensing or tax obligations. An entity that holds a DC business license or owes taxes stays responsible for compliance in those areas, according to the form.
When to file DLLP-2
File Form DLLP-2 when the partnership has an amendment to its original statement of qualification, a partner dissociates, or the partnership decides to cancel its statement of qualification. The form prints no separate due date.
Item 6, Effective date, is where you enter the date the amendment or cancellation is to take effect.
Before you cancel, remember that the form states a cancellation has no effect on licensing and tax obligations. Those obligations remain the organization's responsibility. For questions about timing, the Corporations Division lists (202) 442-4432.

- Leaving out the dissociating partner's name and the dissociation in item 4 when filing a statement of dissociation.
- Assuming a cancellation ends licensing or tax obligations; the form states it has no effect on them.
- Signing the form without the name of the Governor or Authorized Person in item 7, or leaving signature item 7A blank.
- Mailing the form without the required payment; the instructions say to mail all forms with payment.
- Sending the mailing to a street address instead of PO Box 712300, Philadelphia, PA 19171-2300.
