West Virginia Limited Partnership

Limited Partnership Name
 
• The name of an limited partnership may not:
  (1) contain the name of a limited partner unless the person or corporation is also a general partner, or unless the business has been carried on under the name before that limited partner was admitted;
  (2) may not be the same as and must be distinguishable from any other business entity which has been reserved or filed; and
  (3) may not include the word "engineer" or related words unless the purpose is to practice professional engineering and one or more of the partners is a registered professional engineer.

A limited partnership is required to maintain continuously an office within the state, which need not be its place of business. W. Va. Code. ž47-9-5 lists the records which are required to be kept there. Those include lists of general and limited partners, copies of the certificate of limited partnership or amendment, any power of attorney, tax returns, partnership agreements, financial statements and other matters. Consult the law for specifics.

A limited partnership may wish to maintain a person to which notice and process may be mailed. It may be the principal office if within the state, or a resident of West Virginia, or a domestic corporation or foreign corporation registered to do business in this state. If the agent changes, you must notify the Secretary of State in writing of the change.

File the One completed application, along with the correct filing fee (see fee schedule below). Make check payable to "Secretary of State." Mail to the address on the application form.
