How Missouri companies register with Oregon

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

Will your Missouri name work for Oregon?

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

Your Oregon agent and the Missouri one

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

Common questions: Missouri to Oregon

Does my Missouri company need to register in Oregon?

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

How much does the Oregon registration cost?

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

What are the yearly costs for Missouri and Oregon?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Missouri's report ($15, every two years) and Oregon's report ($275).

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oregon corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

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

What does an Oregon company file to register in Missouri?

It files Form Corp 42 with $155 in state fees, plus Oregon's good standing certificate.
