Streamline DBA and Fictitious Business Name Filings
Simplify county DBA filings with a guided multi-step form for business and owner details, newspaper publication, photo ID upload, and a sworn e-signature.
This free Fictitious Business Name (DBA) Registration form template gives county clerk and recorder offices, legal document preparers, and business formation services a complete online version of the fictitious business name statement. Filers choose a filing type, such as a new filing, renewal, abandonment, or withdrawal, and enter the prior FBN file number when one applies. They then list the name or names to be registered and briefly describe the goods or services offered. They also note when the business first operated under the name and provide a principal street address (P.O. boxes and PMBs are not accepted) plus an optional mailing address.
The registrant section captures how the business is conducted, such as by an individual, partnership, corporation, LLC, or trust. It also collects the authorized signer's full name, title or capacity, residence address, phone number, and email. Entity filers add their legal name, state of organization, and entity file number. Spouses, domestic partners, general partners, or co-owners can be listed as additional registrants in the same submission.
The final step handles the items that commonly hold up DBA processing. Registrants explain how they will meet the newspaper publication requirement, upload a valid photo ID, and review and sign the sworn declaration. Required fields prevent incomplete statements from reaching your office, which means fewer rejected filings, less back-and-forth, and fewer in-person visits. Customize the wording, filing types, and instructions to match your county's rules, then embed the form on your website and start accepting DBA statements online.
