(2)  This subchapter shall require or permit filing the record in the Office of the Secretary of State. (3)  The record shall contain the information required by this subchapter. It may also contain other information. (4)  The record shall be typewritten or printed or, if electronically transmitted, it shall be in a format that can be retrieved or reproduced in typewritten or printed form. The typewritten or printed portion shall be in black. Manually signed photocopies or other reproduced copies of typewritten or printed records may be filed. (5)  The record shall be in the English language. A limited partnership name may be in a language other than English if written in English letters or Arabic or Roman numerals. Any record that may be filed by a foreign limited partnership that is duly authenticated by the official having custody of the applicable records in the state, country, or other jurisdiction under whose law the limited liability company is formed may be in a language other than English if accompanied by a reasonably- authenticated English translation. (6)  The person executing the record shall sign it and print beneath or opposite his or her signature the names of the person and the capacity in which he or she signs. (7)  The person executing the record may do so as an attorney-in-fact. Powers of attorney relating to the execution of the record shall not be required to be provided to or filed with the Secretary of State. (8)  If the Secretary of State has prescribed a mandatory form for a record, then the record shall be in or on the prescribed form. (9)  The record shall be delivered to the Secretary of State for filing. Delivery may be made by electronic transmission if and to the extent permitted by the Secretary of State. If it is filed in typewritten or printed form and not transmitted electronically, then the Secretary of State may require that it be accompanied by two (2) exact or conformed copies. (10) One (1) exact or conformed copy, or, if transmitted electronically, a reproduction in paper form, shall be filed with and recorded by the county clerk of the county in which the registered office of the limited partnership is located. A county clerk shall receive a fee pursuant to KRS 64.012 for recording and issuing reports, articles, and statements pertaining to limited partnerships. A document otherwise filed in accordance with this section with the Secretary of State shall be effective regardless of failure to file the document with the county clerk in accordance with this subsection. (11) When the record is delivered to the Secretary of State for filing, the correct filing fee and any other moneys required by this subchapter or other law to be collected by the Secretary of State therewith shall be paid or provision for payment made in a manner permitted by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may accept Page 1 of 2 payment of the correct amount due by credit card, debit card, charge card, or similar method. However, if the amount due is tendered by any method other than cash, then the liability is not finally discharged until the Secretary of State receives final payment or credit of collectible funds.
