Documents Required for LLP Registration
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a newer form of business which is a mixture of a company and a partnership firm. While it has benefits and characteristics of a private limited company, it can be operated flexibly just like a normal partnership. Compliances are lesser in LLP as compared to a company, yet the partners have limited liability since LLP acts as a legal entity separate from partners.
Indian National as Partner in LLP
The following documents are mandatorily required for Indian Nationals incorporating an LLP:
PAN Card: PAN Card copy of the proposed Partners of the LLP will be required for the LLP registration process. The Department of Income Tax in India issues the PAN or Permanent Account Number which is a unique identification number
Address Proof: In addition to the PAN Card copy, the proposed Partner must also submit an address proof and residential proof. The address proof submitted must have the name of the Partner as mentioned in the PAN Card and the most current address. The document must also not be older than 2 months. The following documents are acceptable address proof for Indian Nationals.
Residential Proof: In addition to the address proof, submit a residential proof to register an LLP. The residential proof is used to validate the current address of the Partner. The following documents are acceptable residential proof:
Bank Statement
Electricity Bill
Telephone Bill
Mobile Bill
Foreign National as Partner in LLP
The following documents are mandatory for Foreign Nationals registering an LLP:
Passport: In case of Foreign Nationals, Passport is mandatory to submit as a proof of identity. The Passport must also be Notarized or Apostilled in the country it was issued. In case the document is in a foreign language, then translate with an official translator to English and notarized or apostilled. Further, if the Passport does not contain the date of birth of the holder, then an additional document indicating the date of birth of the Partner must be provided, duly certified or attested or notarized or apostilled.
Address Proof: In addition to the Notarized or Apostilled Passport copy, the foreign national must submit an address proof which is also notarized or apostilled.
