1. Pay to the Secretary of State a registration fee required by Section 56 of this act;
2. Provide the Secretary of State with an original certificate from the certifying officer of the jurisdiction of the foreign limited liability company's organization attesting to the foreign limited liability company's organization under the laws of such jurisdiction; and
3. Submit to the Office of the Secretary of State an application in duplicate for registration as a foreign limited liability company, signed by a manager, member, or other person, and setting forth:

b.the state or other jurisdiction and date of its organization,

e.the address of the office required to be maintained in the state of its organization by the laws of that state or, if not so required, of the principal office of the foreign limited liability company, and
f.such additional information as may be necessary or appropriate in order to enable the Office of the Secretary of State to determine whether such limited liability company is entitled to transact business in this state.
