Florida DBA Search & Fictitious Name Search

Use a Florida DBA search to investigate existing fictitious-name records before choosing a name. Florida’s public business-record system is commonly known as Sunbiz.

What is a Florida DBA search?

A DBA search looks for registered fictitious names in Florida. It can help you identify existing records and investigate whether a proposed name is already in use.

Where can you search?

The Florida Division of Corporations provides public record search tools through its Sunbiz system.

A search is not a legal clearance

A search result should not be treated as a guarantee that a name is legally available, non-infringing, or free of rights held by another party. Florida explains that fictitious names are filed for public-notice purposes and the Division of Corporations is not responsible for name infringement.

After you find a name

If you have selected a name, you can proceed with a Florida Fictitious Name Registration. FLDBA.com can prepare and submit the registration as a private filing service.
