Alaska Corporation Foreign Registration in Oregon

To do business in Oregon, a corporation formed in Alaska registers there on Form 50, with $275 in state fees. Oregon may ask for Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10). We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division from your Alaska records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Alaska to Oregon, step by step

We prepare and file Form 50
It lists us as your Oregon registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date. If Oregon wants the Alaska certificate, it is ordered first. Once Oregon approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Will your Alaska name work for Oregon?

We check your exact Alaska name against Oregon's records before filing.

Your Oregon agent and the Alaska one

Alaska and Oregon both call it a registered agent. Oregon papers come to us; Alaska's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Alaska and Oregon

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($275). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Oregon

An LLC formed in Alaska files Form 110 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Oregon into Alaska

A corporation formed in Oregon that registers with Alaska files Form 08-414 with $350 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Alaska to Oregon

Does my Alaska company need to register in Oregon?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Oregon law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Oregon issues one to Alaska corporations once the form is approved.

How much does the Oregon registration cost?

$474 at checkout; Oregon may also want Alaska's Certificate of Compliance, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Oregon?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Oregon's report ($275).

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

Yes: the Alaska registered agent stays, and ours covers Oregon for year one.

Can I form a new Oregon corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oregon's Annual Report ($100), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Foreign Corporation Amendment/Withdrawal; until then, Oregon's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.

What does an Oregon company file to register in Alaska?

It files Form 08-414 with $350 in state fees.
