Official sourceCamden County trade names
Trade names for sole proprietors and general partnerships are filed with the Camden County Clerk (N.J.S.A. 56:1-1 and 56:1-2). The fee is set by that clerk. This page does not print a fee we have not verified.
An LLC that simply wants a second name uses the $50 state alternate-name filing instead of a stack of county certificates.

Municipal permits are separate from the state certificate. This page does not quote a local license fee, because those amounts are not on the state fee schedule.
