The latest version of the application can be found on this page. Don’t be intimidated, its not actually a hard application even though it looks complicated at first glance.

Its easiest to apply for a MAE using your name as the MAE name. If you want to use another name (called a “trade name”), you have to register it with the DCCA and include that registration with your application. If you want to use the name of a LLC, then you need to send them a certificate of good standing.
