The Maryland Trade Name Amendment Application is a form that is used in the State of Maryland to amend a trade name. A trade name is a name used by a business to identify itself and distinguish its products or services from those of other businesses. There are three types of Maryland Trade Name Amendment Application: the Standard Amendment Application, the Short Form Amendment Application, and the Renewal Amendment Application. The Standard Amendment Application is used to amend a trade name that is already on record with the State of Maryland. The Short Form Amendment Application is used to make changes to a trade name that is newly registered with Maryland. The Renewal Amendment Application is used to renew the registration of a trade name already on record with the State of Maryland. All applications must include the trade name, the date of registration, and the name of the owner of the trade name. The completed application must be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the trade name is registered.
