§ 61-2-1209. Certificate of existence.

Any person may apply to the secretary of state to furnish a certificate of existence for a domestic limited partnership or a certificate of registration for a foreign limited partnership registered to transact business in this state. A certificate of existence or registration sets forth: The domestic limited partnership's name or the foreign limited partnership's name used in this state; That: The domestic limited partnership is a limited partnership formed under the laws of this state, and the effective date of the filing of its initial certificate of limited partnership; or The foreign limited partnership is a limited partnership registered to transact business in this state; That all fees, taxes and penalties owed to this state have been paid, if: Payment is reflected in the records of the secretary of state or the department of revenue; and Nonpayment affects the existence or registration of the domestic or foreign limited partnership; That: Neither a certificate of cancellation nor a decree of judicial dissolution has been filed for a domestic limited partnership; or A certificate of cancellation has not been filed for a foreign limited partnership; That the certificate of existence or registration is effective as of the date of the issuance of the certificate; and Other facts of record in the office of the secretary of state that may be requested by the applicant. Subject to any qualifications stated in the certificate, a certificate of existence or registration issued by the secretary of state may be relied upon as conclusive evidence that the domestic or foreign limited partnership has been formed or is registered to transact business in this state, that the domestic limited partnership's certificate of limited partnership has not been cancelled, and that the domestic or foreign limited partnership is in good standing as far as the records of the secretary of state show.
