A Rhode Island Limited Partnership Fictitious Business Name Statement is a document that must be filed with the Secretary of State in order to register a business name that differs from the legal name of the limited partnership. The statement typically must include the name of the limited partnership, the fictitious business name, the address of the business, and the names and addresses of the partners. The statement must be signed by each partner and notarized before it is filed. There are two main types of Rhode Island Limited Partnership Fictitious Business Name Statements: one for a limited partnership that is registered in Rhode Island, and one for a limited partnership that is registered in another state, but that operates a business in Rhode Island.
