Part 2 – Limited partnerships etc Delivery of documents Section 145: Delivery of documents relating to limited partnerships
This section inserts new section 30 into the Limited Partnerships Act 1907. Section 145 provides that certain documents relating to a limited partnership can only be delivered to the Registrar by an Authorised Corporate Service Provider or an individual who is an officer or employee of an Authorised Corporate Service Provider.
	Subsection (3) of the new section 30 lists what these documents are, for example, the application to become a limited partnership, notices of changes to partnerships and confirmation statements. Subsection (4) of new section 30 provides for a power for the Secretary of State to make regulations to add documents to this list.
	The Secretary of State may also make regulations to amend this section for the purpose of changing who may deliver a document to the Registrar on behalf of another person. This requirement will add in an extra layer of checking and accountability, as Authorised Corporate Service Providers will need to carry out customer due diligence on their clients to file on their behalf. This will provide the Registrar and the public with confidence that documents being filed by limited partnerships are legitimate.
