Milestone-by-milestone comparison
DBA publication requirements
Plan your own publication: applicability, the authority’s newspaper directory, schedule and proof →
Publication is not a single deadline. An authority may separately state when the first notice must appear, how often it runs, how long it continues, and when proof reaches the clerk. This table deliberately keeps those milestones apart. A blank official record is displayed as not stated; it is never converted into “no publication required.”
County-level California filings illustrate why local pages matter: the county accepts the statement and the publication follows the applicable county process. A state-level summary cannot safely substitute one county’s fee or action link for another. Use the guide link to confirm the entity route and current official instructions before arranging a notice.

Source: www.revisor.mn.gov official record · retrievedSupporting excerptThe certificate shall be published after it has been filed with the secretary of state in a qualified newspaper in the county in which the person has a principal or registered office for two successive issues. | The Assumed Name must be published within 60 days of filing.Source: mn.gov official record · retrieved Supporting excerptDetermining Whether an Assumed Name is Available An assumed name will not be accepted for filing if it is the same as, or is not distinguishable from, the name of a corporation, Limited Liability Company, limited partnership, limited liability partnership or state trademark on file with the Secretary of State. (See the section titled “Determining Whether A Name is Distinguishable” later in this chapter.) Business owners may call the general information line of the Secretary of State 651-296-2803 or access the Secretary of State website section, How to Check Business Name Availability, prior to registration to determine whether a name is available. The Secretary of State will perform a preliminary check but does not guarantee that the name will be available at the time of filing. There is no procedure for reserving an assumed name. A sole proprietorship or partnership that intends to incorporate at a later date may, however, reserve the corporate name by filing a reservation of corporate name with the Secretary of State. This procedure is described in the section of this Guide on forming a corporation. Restrictions on Assumed Names • You can only use designations like Inc., Corp., or LLC if your business is legally that type of entity. • Don’t include a location in the name if your business is not in that community. • Banks and other financial institutions must get approval from the Minnesota Department of Commerce before using an assumed name. • When filing an Assumed Business Name, the Secretary of State does NOT check against other Assumed Names on record as the law allows for the same or similar Assumed Business Name to be filed. How to File an Assumed Name Check name availability You may call the Secretary of State Office at 651-296-2803 or access their website at How To Check Business Name Availability, prior to filing to determine whether the name is available. Complete the form Download and complete Certificate of Assumed Name form or file online through an online account. View how to create an account at How to Create an Account. Pay the filing fee The filing fee is $30 by mail and $50 in person or online. Publish the name After approval, you must publish the certificate in a qualified “legal newspaper” in your county for two consecutive issues. The Secretary of State maintains a list of qualified legal newspapers. The Assumed Name must be published within 60 days of filing. The newspaper will give you proof of publication. If you do not publish, your assumed name filing is invalid. | in a qualified newspaper in the county in which the person has a principal or registered office for two successive issuesSource: www.revisor.mn.gov official record · retrieved Supporting excerptin a qualified newspaper in the county in which the person has a principal or registered office for two successive issues | two successive issuesSource: www.revisor.mn.gov official record · retrieved Supporting excerptThe certificate shall be published after it has been filed with the secretary of state in a qualified newspaper in the county in which the person has a principal or registered office for two successive issues. | Not confirmed in this guide. |

What the evidence means in each row
Each row identifies both the jurisdiction and legal entity. A condition that applies to a sole proprietor must not become a universal rule for an LLC or corporation. Read the visible official condition before treating a yes or no as applicable to a filing. Where reviewed sources disagree, the disputed milestone stays unconfirmed. Missing evidence does not establish an exemption.
Reading a sourced publication answer
Check that the statement was accepted before treating the publication clock as started. Follow the authority’s newspaper eligibility language and do not assume any newspaper qualifies. Keep proof separate from the publication run itself. A renewal may have different publication treatment from a new or changed statement, so the latest county instructions control. DBA Filing Guide does not place legal notices and does not receive publication payments. The table is legal information designed to expose the official evidence, not advice about a particular filing.
