Affidavit of Publication of Certificate Fictitious or Assumed Name:

When a person wants to start a company, he usually prefers to use his name or his family name in the official title of the company. He registers that name with the trading department. But there are some situations in which a company can’t or the owners don’t want to use their own names in the company title. Instead, they use fictitious or assumed names that have nothing to do with the owners and partners.

If they want to do so, they are legally obligated to register the company first in the trading department and if that department gives them permission to conduct the business with the assumed name company by sending them a certificate, they are again required or forcefully asked to publish the certificate in the local newspaper for at least 4 times once every week so that if anyone has problem with the company, they can come up before the company officially starts its business and trading. Once the owners make sure that they have published the certificate notification at least 4 times in the newspaper, they are asked to sign an affidavit with the clerk in the trading department in order to make the statement official that they have fulfilled the requirements along with attaching the true copies of each published notification as proof.
