From Indiana to Oregon, step by step

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

Your Indiana name and Oregon's rules

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

Your Oregon agent and the Indiana one

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

Yearly filings: Oregon and Indiana

Indiana wants the Business Entity Report every two years ($32); Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($275). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Indiana to Oregon

An LLC formed in Indiana files Form 110 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Indiana's Business Entity Report ($32) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the LLC filing.

Questions Indiana owners ask about Oregon

Does my Indiana company need to register in Oregon?

Yes, once an Indiana 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 Indiana corporations once the form is approved.

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

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

What are the yearly costs for Indiana and Oregon?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Indiana's report ($32, every two years) and Oregon's report ($275).

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oregon corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

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

Indiana issues the Certificate of Existence online through INBiz, emailed after payment and kept in the INBiz documents list ($15).
