The Iowa Application for Registration of Name [504.403] is a document used by Iowa businesses to officially register their name with the Iowa Secretary of State. This document is used to secure exclusive rights for the business name in the state of Iowa, and it provides legal protection for the business in the event of a dispute. There are two types of Iowa Application for Registration of Name [504.403]: the Entity Application and the Trade Name Application. The Entity Application is used to register the primary name of a business, while the Trade Name Application is used to register a "doing business as" name for a business. Both applications require the entity name, the name of the business owner, the business address, and other relevant information. Once the application is complete, the business must pay the applicable filing fee and submit the application to the Iowa Secretary of State for approval.
