Foreign registration · Form 110

Montana LLC Foreign Registration in Oregon

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

How Montana companies register with Oregon

Have the Montana registry number ready
The state checks Montana'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 Montana name and formation date. No Montana paperwork holds up the Oregon filing. Once Oregon approves it, the Montana company can do business there.

Your Montana name and Oregon's rules

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

Agents: Oregon and Montana

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

Yearly filings: Oregon and Montana

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

LLC or corporation, Montana to Oregon

A corporation formed in Montana files Form 50 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same). After that come Montana's Annual Report (no fee) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Oregon into Montana

An LLC formed in Oregon that registers with Montana files Montana's registration (no form number) with $70 in state fees; no Oregon certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Montana owners ask about Oregon

Does my Montana company need to register in Oregon?

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

How much does it cost to register a Montana LLC in Oregon?

$474 at checkout, with nothing to pay Montana.

Do I need Montana'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 Montana and Oregon?

$444 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $20 to Montana and $275 to Oregon for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oregon?

A Montana company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oregon LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

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