Tennessee Corporation Foreign Registration in Oregon

Oregon registers a corporation from Tennessee as a foreign corporation on Form 50, with $275 in state fees. Oregon may ask for Tennessee's Certificate of Existence ($20). We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division from your Tennessee records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Tennessee companies register with Oregon

We prepare and file Form 50
It lists us as your Oregon registered agent, next to your Tennessee name and formation date. If Oregon wants the Tennessee certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Tennessee corporation is registered with Oregon.

Your Tennessee name and Oregon's rules

We check your exact Tennessee name against Oregon's records before filing.

Your Oregon agent and the Tennessee one

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

Staying in good standing in Tennessee and Oregon

Each year your corporation files Tennessee's Annual Report ($20) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Tennessee plus Oregon comes to $444 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Tennessee to Oregon

An LLC formed in Tennessee files Form 110 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Tennessee's Annual Report ($300) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Oregon into Tennessee

A corporation formed in Oregon that registers with Tennessee files Form SS-4431 with $600 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10). See that filing.
