The publication requirements are an important yet often overlooked aspect of LLC, LP and LLP formation. Publication must be done in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks, once per week. The newspapers must be designated by the county clerk. One of the newspapers must be printed weekly and the other must be printed daily.
You will receive an Affidavit of Publication from the publisher or printer of each newspaper. You must file a Certificate of Publication, along with the Affidavits of Publication, with the Department of State, Division of Corporations. The address is:
One Commerce Plaza
99 Washington Avenue, Suite 600
Albany, NY 12231
You will have to pay a $50 filing fee for the Certificate of Publication. You can find the forms on the website of the New York Department of State.

My Limited Liability Entity Was Suspended – What Should I Do?
Any limited liability entity that was authorized to do business or formed after June 1, 2006 must fulfill the publication requirements within 120 days of the qualification or formation of the entity. If you do not meet this requirement, your authority to transact, conduct or carry on business will be suspended.
If this happened to you, a corporate lawyer can help you gather the necessary evidence to get your suspension annulled. You will have to file a Certificate of Publication along with the Affidavits of Publication to do this.
Exemptions from the Publication Requirements
Pursuant to Section 23.03 of the Arts and Cultural Affairs Law , limited liability companies that are theatrical production companies do not have to fulfill the publication requirements if the words “limited liability company” appear in their names.
