If you want a locksmith business license in a made-up name, you need to include the fictitious business name statement from the county clerk with your application. If you want to use multiple fictitious names, you need a separate license for each one. You can't advertise your locksmith services under any name other than the licensed one. If you apply for another fictitious name, the process is the same as if you were applying for your first license.

If a locksmith wants to run their business in more places than just their main office, they need to register each new location. This is a requirement according to this law.

If you have a main business and you're planning to open a second location, known as a branch office, you need to apply for and meet the requirements to register that branch office.

To open a branch office, you must fill out a specific form provided by the director and pay the required fee.

If you want to register a branch office, you need to include some specific details in your application. You'll need to provide the full name, address, phone number, and license number of your main licensed location. Additionally, you have to include the address and phone number of the branch office you wish to register.

When someone applies to register a branch office, the chief is responsible for issuing a 'Branch Office Registration.' This registration must then be visibly displayed at the branch office.

This law ensures that branch office registrations must follow the same rules for renewing licenses as stated elsewhere in the chapter.
