How Virginia companies register with Oregon

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

Will your Virginia name work for Oregon?

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

Your Oregon agent and the Virginia one

Virginia and Oregon both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Virginia; ours takes Oregon's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Oregon and Virginia

Each year your corporation files Virginia's Annual Report + Annual Registration Fee ($50) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Virginia plus Oregon comes to $474 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Virginia to Oregon

An LLC formed in Virginia files Form 110 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Virginia's Annual Registration Fee ($50) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the LLC filing.

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oregon corporation instead?

Yes, but Virginia keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oregon's Annual Report ($100), and the original keeps Virginia's Annual Report + Annual Registration Fee.

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

Virginia companies leave by filing a Foreign Corporation Amendment/Withdrawal; until then, Oregon's report stays due alongside Virginia's filings.
