Registering a DBA in Minnesota
Any company that wishes to do business in Minnesota under a name other than its registered company name must file a Certificate of Assumed Name (an equivalent of DBA or "doing business as") with the Minnesota Secretary of State.
REMEMBER: Minnesota requires to publish the Certificate of Assumed Name with a qualified Legal Newspaper in the county of registration for two consecutive issues. After publication, the newspaper will return an affidavit of publication which should be retained by the business. Failure to publish may render the filing invalid.

Assumed names must be renewed annually. There is no charge for filing the annual renewal unless the assumed name is expired for failure to file an annual renewal, in which case there is a reinstatement fee.
