IDAHO STATUTORY GUIDELINES

LegalZoom.com customizes your legal DBA filing to comply with local requirements, no matter where you live. However, if you're interested in the specifics, they are listed below.

In Idaho, any person who uses a DBA without proper registration cannot maintain a legal action until the DBA is filed. Noncompliance includes false, misleading information, or failure to file. A person who suffers a loss because someone is using a DBA improperly can recover money for the loss, attorney fees, and costs.

The name and address of the business is required when filing, along with the owner's name and address (which includes each person having an interest in the business). Also required is the type of business conducted under the DBA.

From a procedural standpoint, one must file with the Secretary of State. The DBA must be executed by a person with legal authority, and a separate DBA must be filed for each business name.

It is important to note that an amendment must be filed within six (6) months in the same manner it was originally filed stating the change if the identity or business address of any owner changes, or if the DBA becomes materially misleading. Cancellation of a DBA takes place when a person discontinues use of the name and is executed the same way it was originally filed.
