What is a Statement of Withdrawal?
Signature of withdrawing party must be executed in the same manner as the Fictitious Business Name Statement. Statement of Withdrawal must be filed on an active Fictitious Business Name Statement. The filing of a Statement of Withdrawal from a Partnership does not cause the Fictitious Business Name Statement to expire.
To withdraw, please follow these steps
First, research the business name to see if it is taken or look up your previous filing information. Although we do offer a search service (with fees), it is much more economical and convenient to perform the search yourself at no cost. You can do this by using our Self-Service search system.
. Applications can be submitted as follows:
- In-person: You can visit us in person but may experience wait times. For the most efficient and least amount of wait time, we suggest the convenience of booking an appointment to have a set time for your service.
- By-Mail: Send a request and a self-addressed stamped envelope to our office.
E-mail: Email forms can be downloaded and completed before being sent to [email protected].
