Filing Assumed Names
Anyone conducting business in New Hanover county under a name other than the given name of the owner is required to give public notice by filing an Assumed Name with the Register of Deeds office. This document should be prepared by an attorney or the owner of the business. The Register of Deeds office does not furnish forms of this document. You may obtain forms by going to the NC Commerce Web Site.
Before recording an Assumed Name a search of the records should be performed to assure the owner that the name is not already in use. The Register of Deeds staff does not perform searches, but will be happy to show you how to use the records so that you can do this yourself. Please see fee schedule for filing fee information.
If you have more questions about filing an Assumed Name please contact our office. Telephone: 910-798-7740
