Trade Name Certificate

Anyone conducting business in Salem under a name other than his own, needs to file a Certificate of Trade Name.  These forms are available at the Town Clerk's office. There is a filing fee of $10.00.  The form must be signed and notarized in front of a Notary.  The original document is returned to the individual and a paper copy is filed with our records and becomes a permanent part of an alphabetical index of businesses in Salem.
