Kansas Corporation Foreign Registration in Oregon

A corporation formed in Kansas that wants to do business in Oregon files Form 50, with $275 in state fees. Oregon may ask for Kansas's Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50). We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division using your Kansas records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Kansas to Oregon, step by step

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

Your Kansas name and Oregon's rules

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

Your Oregon agent and the Kansas one

Oregon calls it a registered agent; Kansas says resident agent. Oregon papers come to us; Kansas's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Oregon and Kansas

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

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Oregon

An LLC formed in Kansas files Form 110 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Kansas's Information Report ($90) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Oregon into Kansas

A corporation formed in Oregon that registers with Kansas files Form FA with $115 in state fees; no Oregon certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Kansas to Oregon

Does my Kansas company need to register in Oregon?

Yes, once a Kansas 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 Kansas corporations once the form is approved.

How much does it cost to register a Kansas corporation in Oregon?

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

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Oregon?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years) and Oregon's report ($275).

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

Yes: the Kansas resident agent stays, and ours covers Oregon for year one.

Can I form a new Oregon corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

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

What does an Oregon company file to register in Kansas?

It files Form FA with $115 in state fees.
