Each limited partnership must continuously maintain in this state: A registered office, which may but need not be a place of its business in this state; and A registered agent, which agent may be either an individual resident of this state whose business office is identical with the limited partnership's registered office, or a domestic corporation or a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in this state having a business office identical with such registered office. A limited partnership may change its registered office or registered agent by delivering to the secretary of state for filing a statement of change that sets forth: The name of the limited partnership; The street address of its current registered office; If the current registered office is to be changed, the street address of the new registered office and zip code for such office, and the county in which the office is located; The name of its current registered agent; If the current registered agent is to be changed, the name of the new registered agent; and That after the change or changes are made, the street address of its registered office and the business office of its registered agent will be identical. If a registered agent changes the street address of his business office, he may change the street address of the registered office of any limited partnership for which he is the registered agent by notifying the limited partnership in writing of the change and signing (either manually or in facsimile) and delivering to the secretary of state for filing a statement that complies with the requirements of subsection (b) and recites that the limited partnership has been notified of the change. A registered agent may resign his agency appointment by signing and filing with the secretary of state an original statement of resignation accompanied by his certification that he has mailed a copy thereof to the principal office of the limited partnership by certified mail. The statement may include a statement that the registered office is also discontinued. The agency appointment is terminated, and the registered office discontinued if so provided, on the date on which the statement is filed by the secretary of state. If a registered agent resigns or is unable to perform his duties, the designating limited partnership shall promptly designate another registered agent to the end that it shall at all times have a registered agent in this state.
