Registering a DBA in Georgia

D.b.a. in Georgia is called "trade name", and it is registered by filing a trade name registration with the Clerk of Superior Court of the county where the business is principally located (and not with Secretary of State's Office). The fee to file a trade name registration varies depending on the county or city where it is filed. Statement must be notarized prior to filing.

Trade name in Georgia can be registered for any of the following types of business:

• Sole proprietorship doing business under a name not containing the owner’s surname,
• Partnership, or
• Organized/Incorporated entity doing business under a name other than its legal name.

A notice of such filing must be published in the legal organ of the county once a week for two weeks (click here to learn more about publication requirements in Georgia).
