Dutchess Assumed-Name Forms Run Through the Clerk

Start a Dutchess County DBA with the County Clerk forms page. A person doing business under an assumed name must file a Certificate of Doing Business Under Assumed Name. The page has separate forms for one owner and for partners. It also has amendment and discontinuance forms.

Incorporated businesses file in Albany instead. This includes names using corporation, incorporated, or limited. First decide whether the business has one owner, partners, or a state-filed entity.

Then use the matching clerk form.

Keep the applicant name, exact business name, form, filing date, and filed certificate together. Return to the clerk page for an amendment or discontinuance. Incorporated businesses use the Albany route.
