The Tennessee Application for Registration of Assumed Name is a legal document that is required when an individual wants to register a business name with the state of Tennessee. This document is also known as a Tennessee Fictitious Name Registration and is essential for any business in the state to operate under a different name than the owner’s name. The application must be filed with the Secretary of State and the local county clerk’s office in order to be processed. The application requires the following information: the name of the business, the type of business, the address, the names of all individuals involved in the business, the purpose of the business, the date of formation, and the signature of the registrant. There are two different Tennessee Applications for Registration of Assumed Name: one for business entities (corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships) and one for individuals who are not associated with an entity. Both applications must be properly filled out, signed, and notarized before they can be accepted.
