   shall be identical to the foreign limited partnership&#8217;s registered
   office address on record with the Commission;

   6. The name of the city or county in which the registered office is located;

   7. The name of its initial registered agent at that office, which in the case
   of a foreign limited partnership registered pursuant to Chapter 2.1 (&#xA7;
