1. (1) When conducting any business with DMV, a business entity shall use only one business name, including use of the same name for different locations, branches or divisions. Nothing in this section shall preclude the use of different names for portions of a business entity that conducts business under separate business names (e.g. a parent company and subsidiary companies). Examples of a business name include, but shall not be limited to:

   1. (a) The name of a corporation or an abbreviation or acronym on file with the Secretary of State; or
   2. (b) The name of an agency established by law, which includes government agencies.
2. (2) A business entity may provide, if known, the DMV-assigned customer number in all business it conducts with DMV.

3. (3) If the name of a business entity that is exempt from ORS 803.220 changes, the business entity may provide DMV with the following information:

   1. (a) The old and new name of the business whose name has changed; and
   2. (b) Any DMV-assigned customer numbers to which the name change applies.
4. (4) This rule does not apply to those vehicles registered under ORS 805.060.
