How Oregon companies register with Vermont

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Ordered from Oregon on filing day, it easily meets Vermont's limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Vermont registered agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Oregon delays the Vermont filing. After approval, your Oregon corporation is registered with Vermont.

Common questions: Oregon to Vermont

Does my Oregon company need to register in Vermont?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$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: Vermont wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day; Oregon's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Vermont?

$499 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $250 to Vermont for the yearly reports.

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

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