What to bring

  • Owner information and active email

    Standard Filipino sole-proprietor route; companies and special nationality cases use different processes.

  • Business name, address and territorial scope

    Prepare name alternatives and select barangay, city/municipality, regional or national scope.

How to apply

  1. 1
    Check name and scope

    Read the BNRS rules, enter owner details and check a proposed name.

  2. 2
    Complete business details

    Enter business address and scope; review spelling before confirming.

  3. 3
    Pay and download the certificate

    Use the reference and payment deadline shown by BNRS; retain the receipt and business-name certificate.

    Continue on the official service

  4. 4
    Continue to tax and local permits

    A business name alone does not authorize operation. Continue with BIR registration and the city/municipal business permit.
