Foreign registration · Form 50

Oklahoma Corporation Foreign Registration in Oregon

Oregon registers a corporation from Oklahoma as a foreign corporation on Form 50, with $275 in state fees. Oregon may ask for Oklahoma's Certificate of Good Standing ($20). We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division from your Oklahoma records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Oklahoma companies register with Oregon

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

Your Oklahoma name and Oregon's rules

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

Agents: Oregon and Oklahoma

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

Staying in good standing in Oklahoma and Oregon

Oklahoma has no annual report for corporations; Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($275). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oklahoma to Oregon

An LLC formed in Oklahoma files Form 110 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Oregon into Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Oregon that registers with Oklahoma files Form 0012 with $312 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Oklahoma owners ask about Oregon

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Oregon?

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

How much does the Oregon registration cost?

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

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Oregon?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Oklahoma yearly report and Oregon's report ($275).

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oregon corporation instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oregon's Annual Report ($100), and Oklahoma has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

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

What does an Oregon company file to register in Oklahoma?

It files Form 0012 with $312 in state fees.
