Yes, our self-serve system will ask you for the Newspaper you wish to publish in. We have several adjudicated newspapers to choose from and in some cases your notice type will dictate the county you need to publish in (e.g. Fictitious Business Names for Alameda County can pick Alameda Journal or Alameda Times Star which are just 2 of 10 publications you can choose from). Also it will ask for the type of notice you are placing (e.g. Fictitious Business Name, Name Change, and Administer Estate) and then tailor subsequent questions to that ad type. You will upload your original court document or county form and then input the required information with our step-by-step questions.
Our system knows how many times each type of ad must appear in the newspaper and you will have the option to select when publication begins.
Prices vary by notice type and by newspaper. Once you start booking your notice and have picked the newspaper you wish to publish in, plus the notice type, the price will appear. For notices charged per line per day, please enter all the text and required information for pricing, or contact us at legalads@bayareanewsgroup.com for rates.
Deadlines are one week in advance of the publish date. Legal notices will appear in the print newspaper edition based on the dates you schedule. Our weekly publications only run on Fridays, and daily newspapers run Mon-Sat. We do not publish any legal notices on Sundays. The number of print publication dates is specific to various notice types (e.g. Fictitious Business Names must be published one time per week for four consecutive weeks). If your notice needs to run sooner, please contact our Legal Coordinators at legalads@bayareanewsgroup.com and they will do their best to accommodate you.
We will send via USPS, an affidavit/proof of publication to the county clerk/court once the notice expires in print. We will also send a copy to you.
After you upload and review your ad, you will checkout with a major credit card or debit card. All notices are prepaid in advance prior to publication unless you have an established account with us and credit application on file.
These notices types are processed by our Legal Coordinators. Please email legalads@bayareanewsgroup.com for assistance Monday through Friday.
