www.nvsos.gov, or write to the Secretary of State, 202 North Carson Street, Carson City, NV 89701-4120. If it appears from
the name and/or purpose of the entity being formed that it is to be regulated by the Financial Institutions Division,
Insurance Division, State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, State Board of Accountancy or Real
Estate Division, the application will need to be approved by the regulating agency before it is filed with the Office of the
Secretary of State.
2. Location of Designated Office: State the street and mailing address of the Nevada location where the records required
by NRS Chapter 87A are maintained. Both addresses are required.
3. Registered Agent: Persons wishing to file articles of organization in the State of Nevada must designate a person as a
registered agent who resides or is located in this state. Every registered agent must have a street address in the state of
Nevada for the service of process, and may have a separate Nevada mailing address, such as a post office box, which may
be different from the street address.
4. Dissolution Date: (Optional) A limited partnership formed under NRS Chapter 87A may have perpetual existence. If
the partnership elects to set a dissolution date, it may be stated here.
5. General Partners: State the name, street and mailing address of each general partner. If there are more than two
general partners use 8 ½” x 11” white paper to list all remaining general partners and attach it to the certificate. Each
general partner must sign the certificate.
6. Other Matters: Any additional information required by chapter 92A of NRS may be added by marking the box and
attaching the information. Any other information the limited partnership wishes to make part of the certificate may also be

the certificate of limited partnership or a date specified in the certificate of limited partnership.

INITIAL LIST OF GENERAL PARTNERS: Pursuant to NRS 87A, each limited partnership organized under the laws of this
state shall, on or before the last day of the first month after the filing of its certificate of limited partnership, and annually
thereafter, file its list of general partners and registered agent. The initial list fee is $150.00. Forms will be mailed to you
upon the filing of your limited partnership and annually thereafter to the entity’s registered agent. Failure to receive a
notice or form does not excuse an entity from the penalty for late filing.
COPIES: One file stamped copy of the certificate will be returned at no additional charge. To receive a certified copy,
enclose an additional $30.00 per certification. A copy fee of $2.00 per page is required for each additional copy generated
when ordering 2 or more file stamped or certified copies. Appropriate instructions must accompany your order. NRS 87A
requires that a limited partnership have at least one copy of the certificate of limited partnership to be kept in the office of
the registered agent. The Secretary of State keeps the original filing.
