Register a Business Name in Isle of Wight County, VA
This service isn't handled by the Circuit Court Clerk. Here's where to go instead.
This is set by statute, not by the Commission: Va. Code § 59.1-70 — “The clerk of the Commission shall charge a fee of $10 for the filing of a certificate of assumed or fictitious name.” File online at the SCC Clerk's Information System for fastest processing; paper filings are also accepted.
If a county page tells you to file at the courthouse, it is out of date. Some Virginia circuit court clerks' own pages still describe the old local filing; what is left at the courthouse is dissolving a fictitious name recorded there before the change. New registrations go to the Commission — VA Code § 59.1-69(B) (as amended in 2017) requires filing “in the office of the clerk of the Commission”.
