  "description": "The Corporate and Business Registration Department (CBRD)'s \"Application for Registration of a Limited Liability Partnership\", Form S23/F LLP1, prescribed under section 23 of the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2016 and distributed directly and unauthenticated from the Department's own downloadable-forms page. A sibling of this registry's already-published `mu/cbrd/limited-partnership-registration` (Form LP2, Limited Partnerships Act 2011), disclosed as open backlog on that schema's own VERIFICATION.md alongside a Foundation-registration form. Full company incorporation itself routes through the login-gated CBRIS online portal with no static/downloadable equivalent, so — as with the LP2 sibling — this candidate is scoped to the Department's directly-downloadable Limited Liability Partnership registration form rather than company incorporation proper. This schema does not submit the application itself; the live source and the Department's own current requirements are always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Mauritius or its Corporate and Business Registration Department.",
