Filing fees

Statutory fee is the amount fixed by statute or the agency schedule. Effective remittance is what actually leaves the bank once any e-payment surcharge or bundled component is included. Partnership entity types are covered too: LP is a limited partnership, LLP a limited liability partnership, LLLP a limited liability limited partnership. A row reading not offered or no report required is a verified positive finding cited to the statute that proves it - not a gap.

Registered-agent rules in practice

Who may serve as the agent

Pending review

Michigan uses 'resident agent'. For corporations, the agent may be an individual resident of Michigan, a domestic corporation or LLC, or a foreign corporation or LLC authorized to transact business in Michigan; the agent's business office or residence address must be the same as the registered office. The LLC Act mirrors this (MCL 450.4207(1)(b)). A Michigan-resident owner can serve as the agent.

Is the agent's consent required

Pending review

Consent required: no.

What happens when the agent cannot be served

Pending review

The LLC Act has an in-act fallback: if an LLC fails to appoint or maintain an agent, or the agent cannot be found or served with reasonable diligence, process may be served by delivering or sending by registered mail to the administrator (LARA) a summons and complaint. The Business Corporation Act contains NO equivalent fallback for corporations - service on a corporation without a findable agent is governed by Michigan court rules outside this corpus.

The regime
Michigan's 1907 act requires anyone doing business under an assumed name to file a certificate, in duplicate, with the clerk of every county where the business is (or will be) conducted or an office maintained. 'Person' covers individuals, partnerships, trusts, and fiduciaries but expressly excepts corporations and limited partnerships, which are exempt (MCL 445.4(2)) and instead file assumed-name certificates at the state level under their entity acts (MCL 450.1217 corporations; MCL 450.4206 LLCs).
Where it is filed
The county clerk of each county where the person conducts business or maintains an office or place of business; on a move to another county, the certificate must be filed with that county's clerk before doing business there (MCL 445.2a). The clerk certifies the duplicate and returns it to the applicant.
Publication
No newspaper publication requirement appears anywhere in Act 101.
Term and renewal
The county certificate authorizes use of the assumed name for 5 years. The county clerk mails renewal forms and an expiration notice between the 60th and 30th day before expiration; failure to file the renewal and pay the $4.00 fee before expiration constitutes abandonment of the assumed name. Six years after expiration the clerk may destroy the certificate.
Name restrictions
County clerks may reject any assumed name likely to mislead the public, or any name already filed in the county or so nearly similar as to lead to confusion or deception.
Assumed names for registered entities
Corporations (MCL 450.1217) and LLCs (MCL 450.4206) file a certificate of assumed name with the state administrator stating the true name and the assumed name. The certificate is effective until December 31 of the fifth full calendar year after the filing year, extendable for successive 5-year periods by filing not earlier than 90 days before expiration; the administrator must give 90-day advance expiration notice. The filing creates no substantive rights to the name, the same name may be assumed by multiple participating entities in a partnership or joint venture, and assumed names can be transferred in mergers or conversions. Limited partnerships file certificates of assumed name with the administrator under MCL 449.1104 ($10, MCL 449.2107(a)(9)); nonprofit corporations under MCL 450.2217 ($10, MCL 450.3060(1)(j)) - same December-31-of-fifth-year term and 5-year extensions as the corp/LLC certificates.
Penalties
Noncompliance is a misdemeanor: $25 to $100 fine, or up to 30 days in the county jail, or both, in the court's discretion - and each day of violation is a separate offense.
The penalty clause does not void contracts, but a person who fails to file the required certificate is barred from bringing any suit, action, or proceeding in Michigan courts on any contract or matter made under the assumed or fictitious name until full compliance - and no order, judgment, or decree may be entered on such contracts until compliance (or at all, if use of the name has ceased).

Known gaps in the record

  • Act 101's 'person' definition excepts only corporations and limited partnerships - LLCs are not expressly excepted from the county act even though MCL 450.4206 provides their state-level assumed-name mechanism; the statutes do not reconcile this on their face.
  • A charter county with population over 2,000,000 (i.e., Wayne County) may set a different filing fee by ordinance (MCL 445.1(5)); the actual ordinance amount is not in the statute.
  • LP (MCL 449.1104) and nonprofit (MCL 450.2217) assumed-name provisions extracted 2026-08-02 - gap closed.

Common questions

Where does a Michigan sole proprietor or partnership file a DBA?

With the county clerk of every county where the business is conducted or an office is maintained, in duplicate, on the clerk's form, before commencing business (MCL 445.1, 445.2). If the business later moves to another county, the certificate must be filed there before doing business in that county (MCL 445.2a).

What happens if you do business under an assumed name in Michigan without filing?

It is a misdemeanor - $25 to $100 fine and/or up to 30 days in county jail, with each day a separate offense - and, although contracts are not void, the noncompliant business is barred from suing in Michigan courts on any contract made under the assumed name until it fully complies (MCL 445.5).

How long does a Michigan county DBA last?

Five years. The county clerk mails a renewal notice 60 to 30 days before expiration; filing the renewal certificate with a $4.00 fee extends the name for another five years, and failing to renew constitutes abandonment of the assumed name (MCL 445.1a).

Do Michigan corporations and LLCs file county DBAs?

No. Act 101 expressly does not apply to corporations or limited partnerships (MCL 445.4(2)). Corporations file certificates of assumed name at the state level under MCL 450.1217, and LLCs under MCL 450.4206 - effective through December 31 of the fifth full calendar year and extendable in 5-year increments.
