Iowa Resolution to Adopt Fictitious Name [504.401] is a legal document used by a corporation or LLC that operates in the state of Iowa to register a fictitious name for their business. This document allows the company to operate under a name that is different from the legal name of the business, such as a trade name, assumed name, or DBA (Doing Business As). The Iowa Resolution to Adopt Fictitious Name [504.401] must be approved at a meeting of the company's board of directors and must be filed with the Iowa Secretary of State's office. There are two types of Iowa Resolution to Adopt Fictitious Name [504.401]: a resolution of adoption and a resolution of amendment. The resolution of adoption declares the company's intent to register and use a fictitious name, while the resolution of amendment allows for changes to the previously-adopted fictitious name.
