Some DBA registrations expire and require renewal, while others remain effective until changed or canceled. The rules depend on the filing jurisdiction.

Under Swyft Filings' DBA service, customers provide the proposed DBA name, jurisdiction, business category, and a brief description. The filing is then reviewed and submitted to the appropriate state or county office. Once approved, the DBA certificate or registration can be accessed through the customer account, subject to the procedures of the filing jurisdiction.
