This page includes a paid link to a private filing service. ClerkSifter may earn a commission. The office information on this page is independent of it.
This service isn't handled by the Clerk of Orphans' Court. Here's where to go instead.
In Pennsylvania a “DBA” is a Fictitious Name, and it is registered with the Pennsylvania Department of State — not the county. The filing fee is $70. File online at file.dos.pa.gov.
If the business includes an individual (e.g. a sole proprietor), you must advertise the filing in two newspapers — one of general circulation and one legal journal — in the county. You keep the proof of publication with your records; it is not filed with the Department of State (54 Pa.C.S. § 311).
⚠️ This office does not process DBA registration. Use the agency linked above. The office below is your county's Clerk of Orphans' Court — useful for other services.
Check the county website for the Clerk of Orphans' Court's office phone number and hours.
