N.Y. Partnership Law § 81: Certificate to be filed

§ 81. Certificate to be filed. Whenever a partnership or business

name continues to be used as provided by section eighty, the person or

persons using such name shall sign and acknowledge or swear to a

certificate, declaring the person or persons intending to deal under

such name, with their respective places of residence, and file the same

in the clerk's office of the county where the principal place of

business is located, and cause a copy of such certificate to be

published once in each week for four consecutive weeks in a newspaper of

the city or town in which such principal place of business is located,

or if none be published in such city or town, in the newspaper nearest

thereto. A county clerk with whom any such certificate is filed, shall

keep a register in which shall be entered in alphabetical order the name

of every such partnership and of the partners thereof, and every such

business name of a deceased person and the names of the person filing

certificates therefor.
