Companies must maintain an accurate legal company name in GS1 US® records. This ensures products and locations registered with GS1 US remain accurate and aligned with your business identity and that they can be authenticated by your supply chain partners.
Common reasons for a name change request:
Business's legal name has been updated after filing a name change amendment or company conversion
A typographical or spelling error needs to be corrected
Company’s name on record is a DBA (doing business as), assumed, or fictitious name
Helpful Tip: If the name change is due to a merger, acquisition, or divestiture, initiate a Transfer Request, as this involves a change in ownership.
