Follow the steps to successfully complete the MD Trade Name Application.

1. Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the application form and open it in your preferred document editor.
2. In the first section, enter the trade name you wish to register. Remember, only one trade name can be listed here. If you need to register multiple names, complete separate applications for each.
3. Provide the street address where the trade name is used. Include the full address, city, state, and zip code. Note that a post office box can only be used if it is part of the physical address.
4. Indicate the full legal name of the individual or entity that will be using the trade name. If there are multiple owners, attach an additional sheet with their names and addresses. Ensure all owners sign the application.
5. Answer whether the owner has a personal property account by circling YES or NO. If YES, include the account number. For NO, refer to item 4 of the application instructions.
6. Enter the address of the owner using the same format as in Step 3. Again, ensure that any post office box numbers are accompanied by the physical address.
7. In this section, describe the nature of your business clearly and concisely.
8. Sign the application at the designated areas. Each owner listed must sign, and if a legal entity is the owner, the signing individual must include their title.
