• If any statement in the application for registration of a foreign limited partnership was false when made or any arrangements or other facts included have changed, the foreign limited partnership shall file a certificate correcting or amending the statement. The corrected or amended certificate must be signed and sworn to by a general partner.
• In the case of an amendment to a foreign registration, a confusing situation may occur. For instance, a California limited partnership may have filed three amendments in California before registering to do business in Massachusetts. Therefore, the fourth amendment to the California limited partnership would be the first amendment to the Massachusetts registration. The amended registration should state this fact.
