From Oregon to Utah, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Utah registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date. If Utah wants the Oregon certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Oregon corporation is registered with Utah.

Your Oregon name and Utah's rules

If Utah's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Oregon company. We search Utah's records for Oregon's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Utah and Oregon

Oregon and Utah both call it a registered agent. Utah papers come to us; Oregon's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Utah and Oregon

Each year your corporation files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oregon plus Utah comes to $267 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Utah

An LLC formed in Oregon files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Utah company in Oregon

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

Common questions: Oregon to Utah

Does my Oregon company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Oregon's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Utah?

$267 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah 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 Utah corporation instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Oregon companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of a Foreign Profit or Non-Profit Corporation; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
