The 5 steps to register a foreign LLC in Oregon

Background on when a state counts you as "doing business": foreign qualification explained.

  1. 1

    Confirm you are doing business in Oregon

    Where people get stuck

    An office, employees, or regular in-person work in Oregon usually counts; a few sales shipped in usually does not. Oregon's own statute decides. If you have not formed the LLC yet, forming it in Oregon directly is often simpler (start an LLC in Oregon).

  2. 2

    Get a good standing certificate from your home state

    Order it first

    Most states ask for a recent certificate of good standing (or existence) from the state where the LLC was formed. How to order one in each state.

  3. 3

    Name a Oregon registered agent

    Required

    The LLC needs an agent with a Oregon street address. Ours is $74.25 a year, the same at renewal. Oregon agent rules.

  4. 4

    File the foreign registration with the state

    We file this one

    You file it with Oregon's business filing office; Oregon's fee is $275 (Oregon fee schedule). The current form is on Oregon's official site. We file it for $120 plus the state fee.

  5. 5

    Keep up with Oregon's yearly filing

    From next year

    A registered foreign LLC files Oregon's yearly report like a local one. The Oregon annual report is due by your formation anniversary date, with a state fee of $100. Deadline and free reminders.
