### Do DBAs Expire, and Do You Need to Renew Them?

**Yes, DBAs (Doing Business As)** can expire, and you will need to renew them to maintain their validity. The expiration and renewal requirements for DBAs vary by state, but typically:

1. **Expiration Period**: A DBA is valid for a specific period, often ranging from 1 to 10 years, depending on state regulations.
2. **Renewal Requirement**: Before the expiration date, you must file a renewal application with the appropriate state or local authority to continue using your DBA.

### Why Renew Your DBA?
– **Legal Compliance**: Operating under an expired DBA may lead to legal penalties or restrictions on business operations.
– **Business Continuity**: Renewing your DBA ensures you can continue using your trade name without interruptions.
– **Protection of Name**: Renewal prevents others from registering your DBA name once it has expired.

### How to Renew a DBA:
1. **Check Renewal Deadlines**: Verify your state’s renewal requirements and deadlines.
2. **File a Renewal Application**: Submit the renewal forms to the appropriate authority and pay the required fee.
3. **Maintain Records**: Keep a copy of your renewed DBA certificate for future reference.
