For registration of LLP, documents of both partners as well as partnership firm have to be submitted.

A.   Documents of Partners

2. Address Proof of Partners–The partner can submit any of the voter ID, passport, driving license or Aadhaar card. The name and other details should be exactly the same according to the address proof and PAN card. If the address proof and PAN card have different spelling of their own name or father's name or date of birth, this should be corrected before submission to the ROC.
