What is a Washington trade name?
A Washington trade name is any name used in the course of business that does not include the full legal name of all the owners
of the business.
In the case of a limited partnership or a corporation, it is any name that differs in any respect from the name
registered with the Secretary of State.
If you are using your personal name in your business name, please see the examples on the reverse side to
determine if you need to register.
What is the purpose of trade name registration in Washington State?
The trade name registration provides a record of all owners of a business. This information is provided to the public
if requested. Registering your trade name does not protect the name from use by others. The right to use a trade
name belongs to the one who first uses it in connection with their business.
