How Oregon companies register with Florida

We prepare and file Form CR2E007
It names us as your Florida registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date. If Florida wants the Oregon certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Oregon corporation is registered with Florida.

Will your Oregon name work for Florida?

If another Florida company uses the Oregon name, an alternate name is allowed. Florida can hold a name for $35 before you file.

Your Florida agent and the Oregon one

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

Will Florida accept my Oregon name?
