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

Your Utah name and Oregon's rules

We search Oregon's records for Utah's name on file before anything is filed.
