Each limited partnership and each registered foreign limited partnership shall designate and maintain a registered agent and registered office in this state. The designation of a registered agent is
an affirmation of fact by the limited partnership or registered foreign limited partnership that the agent has consented to serve.
(1m) The registered office of a limited partnership or registered foreign limited partnership may, but need not, be the same
as any of the partnership’s places of business or activity. The registered office must be an actual physical location with a street address and not solely a post office box, mailbox service, or telephone answering service. The registered agent of a limited partnership or registered foreign limited partnership shall be any of
the following:
(a) A natural person who resides in this state and whose business office is identical with the registered office.
(b) A domestic corporation, nonstock corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or limited liability partnership whose business office is identical with the registered office.
(c) A foreign corporation, nonstock corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or registered limited liability
partnership if that entity is authorized to transact business in this
state and the entity’s business office is identical with the registered office.
(2) A registered agent for a limited partnership or registered
foreign limited partnership must have an e-mail address and a
place of business or activity in this state.
(3) The only duties under this chapter of a registered agent
that has complied with this chapter are the following:
(a) To forward to the limited partnership or registered foreign
limited partnership at the address most recently supplied to the
agent by the partnership or foreign partnership any process, notice, or demand pertaining to the partnership or foreign partnership which is served on or received by the agent.
(b) If the registered agent resigns, to provide the notice required by s. 179.0119 (3) to the partnership or foreign partnership
at the address most recently supplied to the agent by the partnership or foreign partnership.
(c) To keep current the information with respect to the agent
in the certificate of limited partnership or foreign registration
statement.
