Oregon registers a corporation from Delaware as a foreign corporation on Form 50, with $275 in state fees. Oregon may ask for Delaware's Certificate of Good Standing ($50).

From Delaware to Oregon, step by step

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

Will your Delaware name work for Oregon?

We search Oregon's records for Delaware's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Oregon and Delaware

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

Staying in good standing in Delaware and Oregon

Each year your corporation files Delaware's Annual Franchise Tax Report ($50) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Delaware plus Oregon comes to $474 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Delaware to Oregon

An LLC formed in Delaware files Form 110 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Delaware's Annual LLC Tax ($400) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Oregon into Delaware

A corporation formed in Oregon that registers with Delaware files Delaware's registration (no form number) with $245 in state fees. See that filing.

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oregon corporation instead?
