After administrative dissolution or revocation: the registered agent's appointment
What Florida's own statutes do to the registered agent's appointment and authority for service of process once the state administratively dissolves a domestic entity or revokes a foreign one's authority. Continues: the statute keeps the agent of record after the state's action. Ends: a section terminates the appointment by operation of law. Statute is silent: no section speaks to it, and the nearest provision is stated instead. What any provider does about such an appointment is its own policy, not a fact recorded here.

How the agent comes off the record
The agent comes off the record only by delivering to the department a signed statement of resignation naming the entity and promptly mailing a copy to the entity's current mailing address, which terminates the agent on the earlier of the 31st day after the department files it or the filing of a record designating a new agent, and the agent may resign regardless of whether the entity has active status.

The regime
Florida's Fictitious Name Act bars any person from engaging in business under a fictitious name until the name is registered with the Division of Corporations of the Department of State, and the registration must include a certification that the intent to register was advertised at least once in a newspaper in the county of the registrant's principal place of business.
Where it is filed
Fictitious name registrations are filed statewide with the Division of Corporations of the Florida Department of State; there is no county-level filing.
Publication
The registration must include a certification by at least one registrant that the intention to register the fictitious name has been advertised at least once in a newspaper in the county where the principal place of business is or will be located.
Term and renewal
A Florida fictitious name registration runs from the date of registration or reregistration and expires on December 31 of the fifth calendar year, counting the year of registration as the first calendar year. Each renewal is valid for a further 5 years.
Name restrictions
A registered fictitious name may not contain entity designators such as Corporation/Inc., LP/LLLP, LLP, LLC, PA/chartered, or PLLC unless the registrant is actually organized as, or authorized to transact business as, that entity type.
Assumed names for registered entities
A foreign corporation whose legal name is unavailable or noncompliant in Florida must adopt a complying alternate name to transact business; a foreign corporation that obtains its certificate of authority under an alternate name is excused from Fictitious Name Act registration for that alternate name.
Penalties
A noncomplying business, and any successor or assignee, cannot maintain any action, suit, or proceeding in Florida courts with respect to the business until the section is complied with. Noncompliance does not invalidate contracts or bar the business from defending suits, but a party aggrieved by a noncomplying business may be awarded reasonable attorney fees and court costs. Failure to comply is a noncriminal violation punishable as provided in Fla. Stat. § 775.083.

Common questions
Where do I register a fictitious name (DBA) in Florida?
With the Division of Corporations of the Florida Department of State. Fla. Stat. § 865.09(3)(a) provides that a person may not engage in business under a fictitious name unless the person first registers the name with the division; Florida does not use county-clerk DBA filings.
Does Florida require newspaper publication for a fictitious name?
Yes. The registration must include certification by at least one registrant that the intention to register the fictitious name has been advertised at least once in a newspaper, as defined in chapter 50, in the county where the principal place of business is or will be located (Fla. Stat. § 865.09(3)(a)5.).
How long does a Florida fictitious name registration last?
It expires on December 31 of the fifth calendar year, counting the year of registration as the first. Renewal occurs on or after January 1 and on or before December 31 of the expiration year, and each renewal lasts 5 years. The statutory renewal fee is $50 (Fla. Stat. § 865.09(5), (6), (12)(c)).
Does registering a fictitious name give me exclusive rights to it in Florida?
No. Fla. Stat. § 865.09(8) states that registration is for public notice only, creates no presumption of rights to own or use the name, does not affect name rights previously acquired by others, and does not reserve the name against future use.
