The Maryland Trade Name Cancellation Application is a form used to request the cancellation of a trade name. Trade names, also known as assumed names, are used to identify a business other than its legal name. A trade name is registered with the State of Maryland's Department of Assessments and Taxation. The Maryland Trade Name Cancellation Application can be used to request the cancellation of a trade name. The application must be signed by the business owner, and it must include the name of the business, the registration number, and the date the registration was filed. There are two types of Maryland Trade Name Cancellation Applications: the Application for Cancellation of Trade Name and the Application for Cancellation of Trade Name which Includes Cancellation of Fictitious Name Registration. The first form is used to cancel a trade name registration only, while the second form is used to cancel both a trade name and a fictitious name registration.
