About this file
This document is the Appendix 10: Officer of the Company - Signature Guidelines for Official Documents issued by the Maryland Transit Administration. It outlines the signature requirements for various legal entity types when signing official documents. For corporations and professional service corporations, the signature of the chair of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, chief operating officer, or president, and witnessed or attested to by the secretary, is required. Partnerships and limited partnerships require the signature of a partner or general partner, respectively. Limited liability companies and religious corporations/churches always require proof of authority, such as an operating agreement or articles of incorporation. Limited liability partnerships and limited liability limited partnerships also always require proof of authority, such as a certificate of limited liability partnership and partnership agreement.
The document provides clear guidelines on the types of proof required for different legal entity types when signing official documents. This ensures consistency and proper authorization when Maryland Transit Administration contracts and agreements are executed.
