When Re-Publication is Required

Re-publication is required if:

  • You file the renewal after the expiration date (gap in registration)
  • Any information has changed — business name, owners, or address

If you file the renewal on time AND all information is the same, no re-publication is required. Just pay the county filing fee and you're done.

How to Renew Your FBN

  1. File the renewal with the Riverside County Clerk-Recorder before the 5-year expiration date.
  2. If re-publication is required, start your NewFBN order and upload the renewal statement.
  3. We publish 4 weeks, email the Proof of Publication.
  4. File the Proof with the county within 45 days of final publication.

Filing and publishing your FBN renewal from anywhere in Riverside County

FBN renewals go to the same office as the original filing: the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder (ACR) — offices in Riverside (Gateway), Temecula, Hemet, Palm Desert, and Blythe; you can also file by mail. For a straightforward on-time renewal, mail filing is often the easiest route; otherwise use whichever branch is nearest.

Remember that an on-time renewal with no changes needs no re-publication at all — but if the registration lapsed or any detail changed (name, owners, or address), the renewal must be published for four consecutive weeks just like the original statement. After filing, upload your stamped form and we publish in a court-adjudicated Riverside County newspaper for $66 flat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to renew my FBN?
FBN registrations in California expire 5 years after filing. Renewal is required to keep the registered trade name active.
Do I need to publish the renewal in a newspaper?
If you renew before the expiration date AND none of the information (business name, owners, address) has changed, re-publication is NOT required. If you're late or information has changed, you must publish again — NewFBN charges $66 flat.
What happens if I let the FBN expire?
If the FBN expires and you continue using the name, you're operating without a valid registration. The name may also become available for another business to register. File a renewal or a new FBN immediately.
