From New Jersey to Oregon, step by step

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

Your New Jersey name and Oregon's rules

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

Your Oregon agent and the New Jersey one

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

Yearly filings: Oregon and New Jersey

Each year your corporation files New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). With our $149 registered agent renewal, New Jersey plus Oregon comes to $499 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to Oregon

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

The other way: Oregon into New Jersey

A corporation formed in Oregon that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10). See that filing.
