From Louisiana to Oregon, step by step

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

Your Louisiana name and Oregon's rules

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

Your Oregon agent and the Louisiana one

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

Yearly filings: Oregon and Louisiana

Each year your corporation files Louisiana's Annual Report ($30) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Louisiana plus Oregon comes to $454 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Louisiana to Oregon

An LLC formed in Louisiana files Form 110 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Louisiana's Annual Report ($40) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the LLC filing.
