Common requirements include the proposed DBA, legal owner or entity name, business address, type or nature of business, and owner information. Some jurisdictions require notarization or additional documentation.

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.
