Legal Notices
Assumed Business Name Legal Notices cost $100 and run in three consecutive issues. The ad must be published for the first time within 15 days of the date stamped by the County Commissioner's Office on the legal form. We must have a copy of the original document in order to publish the notice. Assumed Business Name Legal Notices cost $100 for the 3-week run. We mail a notarized affidavit stating that we have published the ad, along with a copy of the ad from the paper, to the County Clerk’s office. We also mail a copy of that affidavit to the customer.
Change of Name Legal Notices cost $85 for the three week run. An affidavit and copy of the ad is mailed to the customer.
Contact our offices for any other type of legal notices, which are priced by the word and frequency.
Legal notices may be mailed or emailed. The specific legal notice email address is classified-ads@chicagoreader.com.
