How Oregon companies register with Rhode Island

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Rhode Island order. Rhode Island wants the Oregon certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file Form 150
It lists us as your Rhode Island resident agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Oregon issues the certificate instantly, so the Rhode Island filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Oregon corporation is registered with Rhode Island.

Your Rhode Island agent and the Oregon one

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

Staying in good standing in Oregon and Rhode Island

Each year your corporation files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Rhode Island's Annual Report for a Corporation (Form 630) ($50). With our $149 resident agent renewal, Oregon plus Rhode Island comes to $299 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Rhode Island

An LLC formed in Oregon files Form 450 with Rhode Island ($156 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Rhode Island's Annual Report for a Limited Liability Company (Form 632) ($50). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Rhode Island into Oregon

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

Questions Oregon owners ask about Rhode Island

Does my Oregon company need to register in Rhode Island?

Yes, once an Oregon business operates there; Rhode Island law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Rhode Island registration cost?

$518 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $528 in all (checkout is $319 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Rhode Island wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), current at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Rhode Island?

$299 a year: our $149 resident agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $50 to Rhode Island for the yearly reports.

Does Rhode Island require a registered agent?

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

Will Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island corporation instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Rhode Island's Annual Report for a Corporation (Form 630) ($50), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Rhode Island later?

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