The Santa Monica Daily Press is an adjudicated newspaper of general circulation for Los Angeles County.

Congratulations, you have completed your initial application with the Los Angeles Superior Court for your DBA/Fictitious Business Name.

If you have NOT filed your application with LA Superior Court, click here for our White Glove Filing/Publishing package.

The next step is to publish this application for 4 weeks. Just fill out this form, and upload your application. A good smartphone photo or pdf works just fine.

You are in the right place.

Just place your order on this page, we will do the rest!

  • $5 for each additional business name or registered owner.
  • Please note: you must publish within 45 days of the first date DBA/FBN was filed with the County Clerk’s office. 
  • Beware of services that appear too cheap…many of the services advertising low rates are either brokers or not in good standing, which can cause big problems later.

DBA/Fictitious Business Name publishing: $80.00

Includes subsequent filing of an affidavit of publication with the Los Angeles County Recorder
