Doing Business Under Assumed Name Certificates
Arkansas law requires that no person shall conduct or transact business in the state under an assumed name or under any designated name or style, corporate or otherwise, other than the real name of the individual conducting of transacting such business, unless the person files a certificate in the office of the County Clerk of the counties in which the person conducts or transacts or intends to conduct the business. DBA certificates are filed and recorded in the office of the County Clerk. A person or persons desiring to file a DBA is required to complete the certificate form and sign it before a notary public.
The filing fee for this DBA certificate is $25.00 ($30.00 total with certified copy)
The types of businesses that would typically use the form are sole proprietorships and general partnerships.
The DBA certificate is filed in the County Clerk’s office and must be accomplished by:
1. In person; or
2. Mailing with the form and $30
