No Copy of Your Filed Statement? We Can Get It

To publish, we need your county-stamped San Bernardino County FBN statement. If you don't have a copy, add our statement-copy option when you order: we retrieve the filed statement from San Bernardino County and email it to you as a PDF, so you don't need to upload anything.

Price: +$11, added to your order total before you pay
Turnaround: the county doesn't publish a turnaround; allow up to 4–5 business days
What you get: a copy of your county-stamped filed statement (PDF by email)

The $11 retrieval fee is non-refundable once we've placed the request with San Bernardino County, because the county's copy fee is spent at that point.

The San Bernardino County Rule, in Short

Whether your business is in Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Victorville, or San Bernardino itself, your fictitious business name statement is filed with the San Bernardino County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk, either at the Hall of Records in San Bernardino or at the High Desert Government Center in Hesperia. The newspaper notice must run in a paper adjudicated for the county.

Cities we serve in San Bernardino County: San Bernardino, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Victorville, Rialto, Hesperia, Chino, Chino Hills, Upland, Apple Valley, Redlands, Highland, Colton, Yucaipa, and every other community in the county.

Three time limits under California Business and Professions Code §17917:

First publication within 45 days after your statement is filed.
Four weekly notices, once a week for four consecutive weeks.
Affidavit of publication filed with the county clerk within 45 days after the fourth notice.

Orange County and San Diego County clerks state that a statement not published within 45 days expires and must be refiled. A renewal with no changes doesn't need publication as long as it's refiled by the expiration date or within 40 days after. Missed the 45 days? What to do next.

San Bernardino County FBN Questions

How Much Does DBA Publication Cost in San Bernardino County?

PublishProof publishes San Bernardino County FBN statements for a flat $69, including four weekly runs in an adjudicated newspaper, the affidavit filing, and an emailed copy of the signed affidavit. The county charges $90 (the clerk's fee, which can change — check the county page before filing) to file the statement, so registering and publishing a San Bernardino County DBA costs about $159 in total.

Where Is a San Bernardino County FBN Statement Filed?

Fictitious business name statements in San Bernardino County are filed with the Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk, in person at the Hall of Records (222 W. Hospitality Lane, San Bernardino) or the Hesperia High Desert Government Center, or by mail. The affidavit of publication is filed back with that office once your four weekly runs are complete.

My Business Is in the High Desert. Does That Change Where My FBN Is Published?

No. The rule is county-based: your notice runs in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the statement was filed. Any part of San Bernardino County, from the valley to the desert, publishes in a San Bernardino County adjudicated newspaper.

Can You Get a Copy of My Filed San Bernardino County FBN Statement for Me?

Yes. If you don't have a copy of your stamped San Bernardino County statement, choose the statement-copy option when you order (+$11). We retrieve your filed statement from San Bernardino County and email it to you as a PDF (the county doesn't publish a turnaround; allow up to 4–5 business days), and you don't need to upload anything. It's a copy of the county-stamped filed statement, not a certified copy. The $11 retrieval fee is non-refundable once we've placed the request with San Bernardino County, because the county's copy fee is spent at that point.

Where Is the Cheapest Place to Publish an FBN in San Bernardino County?

Compare totals, not ad rates. You can also buy San Bernardino County FBN publication directly from a newspaper, and prices vary by paper. PublishProof's flat $69 for San Bernardino County already includes four weekly runs in an adjudicated San Bernardino County newspaper, the affidavit filing with the county clerk, and an emailed copy of the signed affidavit, so there is nothing to add later. Whoever you use, ask for the total including the affidavit and its filing, and make sure the paper is adjudicated for San Bernardino County.
