To submit a Business Name Request, click the link below, complete the form, and submit via email to board@boe.state.nv.us for consideration. On approval, an authorization letter will be emailed to the contact person listed on the form. You will need to submit the authorization letter to the Nevada Secretary of State’s office when applying for a Nevada State Business License.
