Assumed Business Name Registration

 

 

Assumed Business Name – DBA (Doing Business As)

Any person(s) doing business in the State of Illinois under an Assumed Name must register in the County Clerk’s Office in the county where the business is based. The legal reference to this can be found in the Illinois Assumed Business Name Act (805 ILCS 405/)

The Assumed Name Certificate of Intention must be completed online. You may click the link below for instructions and to complete the form.  You may come into the County Clerk & Recorder’s office to complete the form online.

If you already have an Assumed Business Name and you need to make any changes to the information as originally filed or if you cease business, Illinois Statutes require that you file a Supplemental Certificate. The forms needed will be determined by the types of changes you are making. The fee for filing a Supplemental Certificate is $10.00. In some instances you may be required to publish this one time and file proof of publication with the County Clerk.  Please contact our office for more information @ (217) 824-4969.
