Cancelling a Fictitious Name

Fictitious name filings can be cancelled.

Notes:

If another filing for the same business entity is in process or is of the same filing type as the current filing, you will be alerted to try again later. The current filing cannot be continued but can be restarted when the other filing has been completed (accepted/rejected).
Screens, fields and labels that display are based on your jurisdiction's implementation and may not reflect your filing type.
If you need to re-enter information, select the button labeled Previous to return to the screen you were on prior to the current screen.
If your filing requires a two-step review process, an internal Secretary of State processor must review your filing for compliance before it can be accepted or rejected. After making payment, you will be notified via the email address set up during account creation. To view correspondence for your filing, refer to Order Summary/Correspondence-BE for information about accessing your filing records.
Contact your Secretary of State office if you have questions about this or any of procedure in SystemWORKS Help.
