LLP Form 4
Notice of Appointment, Cessation, or Change of Partner / Designated Partner
Due: Within 30 days of the appointment, resignation, or change
Form 4 notifies the Registrar whenever someone becomes or stops being a partner or designated partner in an LLP, or when an existing partner takes on or steps down from the designated-partner role.
It must be filed within 30 days of the change taking effect. The incoming partner’s written consent (captured on the form itself) and a copy of the partners’ resolution approving the change both need to accompany the filing.
If the change also alters the LLP Agreement — for instance, a new partner’s capital contribution or profit share — Form 4 is filed alongside Form 3, with a supplementary agreement attached to Form 3.
Missing the 30-day window doesn’t block the filing, but it does attract the standard late fee, so it’s worth filing as soon as the resolution is signed.
