DBA or Brand Name mismatch between registration and website
Error 30918 is returned when your EIN is registered under a holding company or legal LLC name (e.g., 'PNW Dental Holdings LLC'), your website operates under a DBA ('Harbor & Pine Dental'), and neither your campaign description nor your website footer connects the two names.
Why DCA Reviewers Trigger Error 30918
- Legal Brand Name is 'XYZ Ventures LLC', website says 'Acme Plumbing', and the footer/privacy policy never states 'XYZ Ventures LLC d/b/a Acme Plumbing'.
