What is Certificate of Correction (Change of Foreign Registered Agent/Office) – Nebraska?
The Certificate of Correction (Change of Foreign Registered Agent/Office) is the Nebraska Secretary of State form a foreign limited partnership files to change the Registered Agent and/or Registered Office it has on record in Nebraska. It cites Neb. Rev. Stat. §67-284.
The form is short. It identifies the limited partnership by name, the date its certificate of limited partnership was filed, and the law under which it is organized. It then records the previous Registered Agent and Registered Office and the new ones. The general partner dates it, signs it and prints his or her name.
One rule is printed on the form: the street address of the registered office and the street address of the registered agent must be identical.
This is not the only correction or registered-agent filing the Secretary of State lists. The agency's forms and fee page also names Articles of Correction, Statement of Correction and Change of Registered Agent/Office filings for other entity types, and a separate Certificate of Amendment (Change of Domestic Registered Agent/Office) in the domestic limited partnership list. This form is the one listed for foreign limited partnerships.
Who needs to file Certificate of Correction (Change of Foreign Registered Agent/Office) – Nebraska?
A foreign limited partnership registered in Nebraska that wants to change its Registered Agent, its Registered Office, or both files this form. The form opens with the statement that the limited partnership, pursuant to the laws of the state of Nebraska, wishes to make that change.
- Who signs: the form has a single signature block, for a general partner, with a line for the general partner's printed name.
- Who the form is for: the title and the Secretary of State's forms list place it among the filings for foreign limited partnerships. The agency's page lists other registered-agent and correction filings for corporations, limited liability companies and domestic limited partnerships, so a different entity type should look for its own filing there.
The form does not describe any representative signing on behalf of the general partner, and it sets no eligibility test beyond the partnership's existing registration.
When to file Certificate of Correction (Change of Foreign Registered Agent/Office) – Nebraska
File the Certificate of Correction when the foreign limited partnership wishes to change its Registered Agent and/or Registered Office; that is the triggering event stated on the form. No due date, renewal cycle or validity period is printed on it, so it is filed whenever the change is wanted.
Record the date of signing on the line marked DATED. The form also asks for the date the certificate of limited partnership was filed, so have that date ready before you start.
