In West Virginia, you can get the information you need regarding business licenses on the State's website known as "Business for West Virginia." You can search the website by keyword to determine if a professional or occupational license is required. You can also search State businesses by name. Using the free website "West Virginia Free Public Records," you can access the two State "Business License" links.

Any company can change its name, daycare centers too. Depending on whether the daycare business is incorporated a name change may involve the state where the business is incorporated. Privately owned daycare businesses must meet state and local regulations for a name change.
Beginning October 2014, a marriage certificate (including that of a same-sex couple) is sufficient proof of legal name change under Virginia state law. This is true whether you were married in Virginia or outside of Virginia and whether you were married before or after same-sex marriage was legalized in Virginia. You need only present the marriage certificate to government agencies, businesses, etc. as proof your new name. The federal government will also accept your marriage certificate as proof of name change.
