From Oregon to New Jersey, step by step

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the Oregon certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Jersey registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date and the certificate attached. Oregon issues the certificate instantly, so the New Jersey filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Oregon corporation is registered with New Jersey.
