How to File an FBN Statement in Riverside County

Riverside County fictitious business name statements are filed with the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder. Here are the steps, with links to the county's official pages.

  1. Search the name. Use the county's official FBN name search to check whether the name is already on file.
  2. Complete the statement. Follow the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder's FBN instructions, listing every business name and every registrant. The Clerk's Office warns that any change after filing requires a new filing and a new fee, and that filing fees are not refundable.
  3. File and pay the county fee. Check the county's current fee schedule before you file.
