Oregon Corporation Foreign Registration in Michigan

Michigan registers a corporation from Oregon as a foreign corporation on Form CSCL/CD 560, with $60 in state fees. Michigan may ask for Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10). We file it with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Corporations Division using your Oregon records and act as your resident agent there for the first year.

How Oregon companies register with Michigan

We prepare and file Form CSCL/CD 560
It names us as your Michigan resident agent, with your Oregon name and formation date. If Michigan wants the Oregon certificate, it is ordered first. Once Michigan approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Will your Oregon name work for Michigan?

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

Your Michigan agent and the Oregon one

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

Staying in good standing in Oregon and Michigan

Each year your corporation files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Michigan's Annual Report, Form CSCL/CD-2500 ($25). With our $149 resident agent renewal, Oregon plus Michigan comes to $274 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Michigan

An LLC formed in Oregon files Form CSCL/CD 760 with Michigan ($50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Michigan's Annual Statement ($25). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Michigan into Oregon

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

Common questions: Oregon to Michigan

Does my Oregon company need to register in Michigan?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Michigan registration cost?

$259 at checkout; Michigan may also want Oregon's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Michigan?

$274 a year: our $149 resident agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $25 to Michigan for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Michigan?

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Michigan require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Michigan corporation instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Michigan's Annual Report, Form CSCL/CD-2500 ($25), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Michigan later?

Oregon companies leave by filing a Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Michigan's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
