Reserve a Corporation, Nonprofit or LLC Name in California
The Fee is $35.00. It will be applied towards our Incorporation/LLC services within 60 days, in all types of incorporations except the $189 "C" Corporation.
We have an ongoing account with the California Secretary of State and so we can reserve your name immediately.
All of the company name information on the California California Secretary of State's website is at least one week old. We have real time access to the secretary's site.
We can search and review up to 3 names, and reserve one name of those names for period of 60 days. If you don't incorporate during these days, you will lose the right to your name.
How do we do it?
- California Secretary of State will check the three names in order.
- If the first one is available, they will reserve that name and not even check the other two. Unfortunately, we do not have a choice of which name to hold.
- California Secretary of State then, will issue a Name Reservation certificate.
