How to register a DBA under an LLC in Georgia?

To register a DBA for an LLC in Georgia, the LLC must be in good standing with the Secretary of State of Georgia. Then, one must file a trade name application with the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the LLC has an actual business presence. The application will state the full legal name of the LLC, the proposed DBA, and a notarized affidavit.

Many counties require that, following filing, a notice of the DBA be placed in a local newspaper for two consecutive weeks. Upon publication and recording, the DBA takes effect and may be legally used for business.

Professional assistance would be important for multi-county operations or nationwide branding of LLCs to ensure smooth processing and compliance. One IBC USA provides end-to-end support for DBA registration under LLCs to maintain 100% compliance with Georgia state and local requirements.
