How Oregon companies register with Arizona

We prepare and file Form C018
It lists us as your Arizona statutory agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date. If Arizona wants the Oregon certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Oregon corporation is registered with Arizona.

Your Oregon name and Arizona's rules

If another Arizona company uses the Oregon name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Arizona's records for Oregon's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Arizona agent and the Oregon one

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

Yearly filings: Arizona and Oregon

Each year your corporation files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45). With our $149 statutory agent renewal, Oregon plus Arizona comes to $294 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Common questions: Oregon to Arizona

Does my Oregon company need to register in Arizona?

Yes, once an Oregon business operates there; Arizona registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Arizona issues one to Oregon corporations once the form is approved.

How much does it cost to register an Oregon corporation in Arizona?

$412.85 at checkout, including the $35 required expedite; Arizona may also want Oregon's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

How long does the Arizona registration take?

Typically 5 business days with Arizona's required expedite, plus time for Oregon's certificate if Arizona asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Arizona?

$294 a year: our $149 statutory agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $45 to Arizona for the yearly reports.

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

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

Will Arizona accept my Oregon name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Oregon name at home.

Can I form a new Arizona corporation instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

Oregon companies leave by filing Form C025, Application for Withdrawal ($25); until then, Arizona's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
