If the error to be corrected is in the name of the limited liability partnership, the name in No. 1 should be the name as it currently appears on the records of the secretary of state rather than the name as corrected.
2. Statement number two asks for identification of the document to be amended or corrected. For example, if a typographical error was contained the original registration, then state "registration" as the document. The date on which the document was filed should be specified. This date is the date stamped by the secretary of state on the upper right-hand corner of the acknowledgement copy returned to the partnership.
3. Statement number three should identify the item to be amended or corrected. For example, if the partnership name is to be changed then state that the item to be amended is the "name of the partnership."
