Iowa LLC Foreign Registration in Oregon

Oregon registers an LLC from Iowa as a foreign LLC on Form 110, with $275 in state fees. Oregon waives the Iowa Certificate of Existence when it can search those records online for free. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division using your Iowa records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Iowa to Oregon, step by step

Have the Iowa registry number ready
The state checks Iowa's online records instead of a paper certificate when that search is free; otherwise a Certificate of Existence goes in with the filing.
We prepare and file Form 110
It lists us as your Oregon registered agent, next to your Iowa name and formation date. No Iowa paperwork holds up the Oregon filing. Once Oregon approves it, the Iowa company can do business there.

Will your Iowa name work for Oregon?

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

Agents: Oregon and Iowa

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

Staying in good standing in Iowa and Oregon

Iowa wants the Biennial Report every two years ($30); Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($275). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Iowa to Oregon

A corporation formed in Iowa files Form 50 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same). After that come Iowa's Biennial Report ($60) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Oregon company in Iowa

An LLC formed in Oregon that registers with Iowa files Form 635_0010 with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Iowa owners ask about Oregon

Does my Iowa company need to register in Oregon?

Yes, once an Iowa business operates there; Oregon law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does it cost to register an Iowa LLC in Oregon?

$474 at checkout, with nothing to pay Iowa.

Do I need Iowa's certificate of good standing?

Not when Oregon can search those records online for free; the application then uses your registry number.

What are the yearly costs for Iowa and Oregon?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Iowa's report ($30, every two years) and Oregon's report ($275).

What if I don't register with Oregon?

An Iowa company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oregon LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

Iowa companies leave by filing a Foreign LLC Amendment/Withdrawal ($275); until then, Oregon's report stays due alongside Iowa's filings.
