Renewal, amendment, and abandonment

The LLC statute ties the fictitious-name statement’s expiration to abandonment, dissolution of the domestic LLC, or cancellation of the foreign LLC’s registration. Those events are different from the entity’s annual report or tax obligations; this is not an annual DBA renewal instruction.

  • (3) The fictitious business name statement expires upon the filing of a statement of abandonment of use of a fictitious business name registered in accordance with this subsection or upon the dissolution of the applicant domestic limited liability company or the cancellation of registration of the applicant foreign limited liability company.

To abandon an LLC fictitious name, use Form 625B. The reviewed form states a $50 filing fee and asks for the name being abandoned and the date its original statement was filed. An authorized person must sign. This abandons the name rather than dissolving the LLC.
