Statement of name reservation.









A name for a limited partnership may be reserved by filing an application and paying the applicable fee per WAC 434-112-085. The applicant may use the secretary of state's regular form for reservation of name, or may submit a written request. A written request must identify the name to be reserved and which of the following subsections apply:
(1) A person intending to organize a limited partnership under this chapter and to adopt the name;
(2) A limited partnership or a foreign limited partnership authorized to transact business in this state intending to adopt the name;
(3) A foreign limited partnership intending to obtain a certificate of authority to transact business in this state and adopt the name;
(4) A person intending to organize a foreign limited partnership and intending to have it obtain a certificate of authority to transact business in this state and adopt the name;
(5) A foreign limited partnership formed under the name; or
(6) A foreign limited partnership formed under a name that does not comply with RCW 25.10.061 (2) or (3), but the name reserved under RCW 25.10.071 (1)(f) may differ from the foreign limited partnership's name only to the extent necessary to comply with RCW 25.10.061 (2) and (3). The request must also include the name of the agent making the request and street and mailing address, and must be signed by the agent, partner or other authorized representative of the limited partnership.
In view of the increasing competition for business names, persons making name reservation requests are advised to submit three prioritized names per request. The secretary of state will review the names requested in order of priority indicated and will reserve the available name of highest priority. If no name reservation can be accepted, the reservation fee is returned to the requestor.
