West Virginia's assumed-name statute is a statewide Secretary of State filing regime. Individuals, sole proprietorships and general partnerships doing business under any name other than the owners' real names must file a true-name form with the Secretary of State, and registered entities (corporations, LPs, LLPs, LLCs, business trusts, voluntary associations) must file an application for registration of trade name with the Secretary of State before doing business under an assumed name.
Where it is filed
All filings under the article go to the West Virginia Secretary of State - the true-name form for individuals, sole proprietorships and general partnerships (§ 47-8-2) and the application for registration of trade name for registered entities (§ 47-8-4). The Secretary of State maintains a searchable database of filers. No county-level filing appears anywhere in the article.
Publication
No newspaper-publication requirement appears anywhere in the article (all five sections, §§ 47-8-1 through 47-8-5, were read in full); the obligations are filing obligations with the Secretary of State only.
Term and renewal
The act states no fixed term and no renewal cycle for either the § 47-8-2 true-name form or the § 47-8-4 trade-name registration. Instead, an entity that stops using a registered trade name withdraws it by filing a certificate of withdrawal with the Secretary of State.
Name restrictions
An entity's registered trade name must be distinguishable from the name of any other corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, business trust or voluntary association, and from any reserved or registered name for those entity types. The article states no comparable content restriction for the § 47-8-2 sole-proprietor/partnership true-name filing.
Assumed names for registered entities
The entity-side mechanism is inside the general act itself: § 47-8-4 requires registered entities to file an application for registration of trade name with the Secretary of State, with distinguishability screening and a certificate of registration. Separately, a foreign corporation whose real name is unavailable in West Virginia may adopt a fictitious name by delivering a certified board resolution to the Secretary of State (W. Va. Code § 31D-15-1506(a)), and a foreign LLC whose real name is unavailable must do the same with a certified resolution of its managers or members (W. Va. Code § 31B-10-1005(a)).
Penalties
Willful failure to comply with § 47-8-2 or § 47-8-4 is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $100, or up to thirty days in county jail, or both.
ch. 47B (Uniform Partnership Act) was not searched for any additional partnership-side assumed-name provisions beyond the general act
§ 47-8-1 exists only as a repealed placeholder (Acts, 1963 Reg. Sess., Ch. 193), so the article's operative sections are 47-8-2 through 47-8-5
Common questions
Where is a DBA filed in West Virginia - with the county or the state?
With the state. W. Va. Code § 47-8-2 directs individuals, sole proprietorships and general partnerships using an assumed name to file a true-name form 'with the Secretary of State,' and § 47-8-4 directs registered entities to file their application for registration of trade name 'in the office of the Secretary of State.' The Secretary of State keeps a searchable database of all filers (§ 47-8-3).
What can happen if a business skips the West Virginia assumed-name filing?
Under W. Va. Code § 47-8-5, willful failure to comply with § 47-8-2 or § 47-8-4 is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $100, imprisonment in the county jail for up to thirty days, or both.
Do LLCs and corporations use the same filing as sole proprietors in West Virginia?
No. Sole proprietors and general partnerships file the § 47-8-2 certificate of true name, while corporations, LPs, LLPs, LLCs, business trusts and voluntary associations file an application for registration of trade name under § 47-8-4, whose name must be distinguishable from other registered entity names. A new certificate of registration is required for each additional assumed name an entity wants to use.
Does a West Virginia trade-name registration expire?
The statute states no fixed term or renewal cycle. Instead, § 47-8-4(c) provides that upon discontinuing use of a registered trade name, the registration 'shall be withdrawn by filing a certificate of withdrawal' with the Secretary of State.
