North Dakota Contractor Name Change refers to the process of changing the name of a contractor in the state of North Dakota. This process is typically necessary when a business changes ownership, merges with another company, or wishes to conduct business under a different name. There are two main types of North Dakota Contractor Name Change: changing the name of an existing contractor and registering a new contractor name. The first step in either process is to file a Name Change form with the North Dakota Secretary of State's office. Depending on the type of change, further steps may include notifying the Internal Revenue Service, updating the contractor's license, and informing clients of the name change.
