Documents Required for Partnership Firm Registration

6 documents7–20 working days, depending on the state Registrar of Firms

Partnership Firm Registration is granted on the strength of the papers you file with it, so a complete set at the start is the difference between 7–20 working days, depending on the state registrar of firms and a query that sends the application back. Below is every document our team needs from you, what each one is for, and how to get it to us. You upload all of it in your Fastlegal dashboard — nothing is couriered, and nothing is payable while you gather it.
