The fee for the license is $60. Only cash, cards or money order are accepted. Please make money order payable to Iredell County Register of Deeds. You may prepay an additional $10 to be issued a marriage certificate after returning the license after your ceremony.

Filing An Assumed Name (DBA forms)
Forms:
Sole Proprietorship:
When starting a new business, it is required by law that you file an Assumed Name Certificate/DBA when creating a Sole Proprietorship or Partnership. A sole proprietorship, also known as the sole trader or simply a proprietorship, is a type of business entity that is owned and run by one individual and in which there is no legal distinction between the owner and the business. The owner receives all profits (subject to taxation specific to the business) and has unlimited responsibility for all losses and debts. Every asset of the business is owned by the proprietor and all debts of the business are the proprietor's. Individuals creating a Sole Proprietorship or Partnership can do so with the form found below. After completing this form, the fee to record is $26. For information about filing taxes for a sole proprietorship or starting a new business, you may want to visit the IRS’s website here.
Corporate Assumed Name Form:
If you have already created a Corporation, LLC, LLP or other entity and wish to do business under another assumed or fictitious name, you will need to use a Corporate Assumed Name Certificate. When filling out this document, keep in mind that Company A is Doing Business As (DBA) Company B. Company A is the owner of Company B. The cost to record an Assumed Name Certificate is $26.
Our office handles filings for sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations doing business under an assumed name. The NC Secretary of State’s office is responsible for filing documents creating LLCs, Corporations etc. Their site might be helpful in establishing one of these entities.
