North Dakota Century Code Title 45. Partnerships § 45-10.2-77. Foreign limited partnership--Name

1. A foreign limited partnership whose name does not comply with section 45-10.2-10 may not obtain a certificate of authority until it adopts, for the purpose of transacting business in this state, an alternate name that complies with section 45-10.2-10. A foreign limited partnership that adopts an alternate name under this subsection and then obtains a certificate of authority with the name shall comply with chapter 45-11. After obtaining a certificate of authority with an alternate name, a foreign limited partnership shall transact business in this state under the alternate name unless the foreign limited partnership is authorized under section 45-10.2-10 to transact business in this state under another name.

2. If a foreign limited partnership authorized to transact business in this state changes its name to one that does not comply with section 45-10.2-10, then it may not thereafter transact business in this state until it complies with subsection 1 and obtains an amended certificate of authority.
