Foreign registration · Form 50

Texas Corporation Foreign Registration in Oregon

Oregon registers a corporation from Texas as a foreign corporation on Form 50, with $275 in state fees. Oregon may ask for Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15). We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division from your Texas records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Texas companies register with Oregon

We prepare and file Form 50
It names us as your Oregon registered agent, with your Texas name and formation date. If Oregon wants the Texas certificate, it is ordered first. Once Oregon approves it, the Texas company can do business there.

Your Texas name and Oregon's rules

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

Your Oregon agent and the Texas one

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

Each year your corporation files Texas's Franchise Tax Report + Public Information Report (no fee) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Texas plus Oregon comes to $424 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.
