Business Registration

Assumed business names filed before December 1, 2017 expire on December 1, 2022 and must be renewed to stay active.

If you filed an assumed business name with your local Register of Deeds Office prior to December 1, 2017, you will need to refile at your local Register of Deeds Office to keep the name active on the assumed business name statewide registry.
