How Oregon companies register with Idaho

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

Will your Oregon name work for Idaho?

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

Your Idaho agent and the Oregon one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and Oregon

Each year your corporation files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oregon plus Idaho comes to $249 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Idaho

An LLC formed in Oregon files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Idaho company in Oregon

A corporation formed in Idaho that registers with Oregon files Form 50 with $275 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Oregon to Idaho

Does my Oregon company need to register in Idaho?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Idaho calls it registration for Oregon corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

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

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Oregon's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Oregon's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Idaho?

$249 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the Oregon registered agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho 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 Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Oregon companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
