Oregon Corporation Foreign Registration in Missouri

To do business in Missouri, a corporation formed in Oregon registers there on Form Corp 42, with $155 in state fees. Missouri also asks for Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no older than 60 days.

How Oregon companies register with Missouri

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Ordered from Oregon on filing day, it easily meets Missouri's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form Corp 42
It names us as your Missouri registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date and the certificate attached. Oregon issues the certificate instantly, so the Missouri filing can go in the same day. Once Missouri approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Common questions: Oregon to Missouri

Does my Oregon company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once an Oregon business operates there; Missouri law lists 8 activities that do not count on their own.

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$354 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $364 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Missouri wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Missouri?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Oregon's report ($100) and Missouri's report ($15, every two years).

What if I don't register with Missouri?

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Missouri corporation instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Oregon companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Missouri's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
