| Doing Business As (DBA)/Co-Partnerships |
Filing a DBA/Co-Partnership reserves the use of the named business name for use in Ingham County only.
The certificate expires after five (5) years.
If a DBA/Co-Partnership is not renewed, the name becomes available for someone else's use.
All persons listed on the DBA/Co-Partnership form must provide their full names and addresses. DBA/Co-Partnership/Dissolution forms may be submitted in person or by mail.
If you decide to file a DBA in person, all persons listed as owners must be present at the time of filing and must present valid government-issued picture identification.
If you decide to file a Co-Partnership in person, at least one person listed as an owner must be present to sign and certify the validity of the signatures of all co-partners. Valid government-issued picture identification must be presented.
If you decide to file a DBA or Co-Partnership by mail, all signatures must be properly notarized.
