Fictitious Business Name

If your business requires a Fictitious Business Name (FBN) you can le with the Clerk Recorder’s O ce one of
two ways: by mail or going in to the Kings County o ce. If you choose to send the application by mail you
will need to download the form and send it, along with payment, and an A davit of Identity. If applying in
