From Illinois to Oregon, step by step

We prepare and file Form 50
It names us as your Oregon registered agent, with your Illinois name and formation date. If Oregon wants the Illinois certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Illinois corporation is registered with Oregon.

Your Illinois name and Oregon's rules

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

Your Oregon agent and the Illinois one

Illinois and Oregon both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Illinois; ours takes Oregon's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Oregon and Illinois

Each year your corporation files Illinois's Annual Report (Form BCA 14.05) ($75) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Illinois plus Oregon comes to $499 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Illinois to Oregon

An LLC formed in Illinois files Form 110 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Illinois's Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form LLC-50.1) ($75) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the LLC filing.

Common questions: Illinois to Oregon

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register an Illinois corporation in Oregon?

$474 at checkout; Oregon may also want Illinois's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Illinois and Oregon?

$499 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $75 to Illinois and $275 to Oregon for the yearly reports.

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oregon corporation instead?

Yes, but Illinois keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oregon's Annual Report ($100), and the original keeps Illinois's Annual Report (Form BCA 14.05).

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

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