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
person the application must be lled out online and no a davit of identity is necessary. If you do not have
access to a computer privately there are computers available to you in the county o ce. Once the online
application has been submitted an owner/member/o cer must go in to the o ce to sign and pay to com-
plete the process.
