The Wisconsin Certificate of Domestic Limited Partnership (CLP) is a legal document filed with the state to legally form a domestic limited partnership in Wisconsin. It is an official record of the partnership's existence and must be filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions. The CLP consists of two types of forms. The first is the Certificate of Domestic Limited Partnership, which identifies the partnership's name, registered office and agent, and the partners associated with the partnership. The second form is the Statement of Partnership Authority, which is used to provide a detailed description of the partnership's purpose and activities. The CLP must be signed by all the partners associated with the partnership and must be accompanied by the filing fee. Once the forms have been submitted and the fee paid, the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions will issue a Certificate of Domestic Limited Partnership, which serves as an official record of the partnership's existence.
