Do doing business as (DBA) filings expire?
A. DBA filings can be valid for any number of years and may or may not expire. Each state and/or county where the DBA is registered establishes the expiration date. If your DBA filing expires, the appropriate agency will notify you at the address you have on record with that agency and you will need to re-file the DBA name. Therefore, maintaining a current DBA business address with the appropriate agency is very important.
