Ohio LLC Foreign Registration in Oregon

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

How Ohio companies register with Oregon

Have the Ohio registry number ready
The state checks Ohio's online records instead of a paper certificate when that search is free; otherwise a Certificate of Good Standing goes in with the filing.
We prepare and file Form 110
It lists us as your Oregon registered agent, next to your Ohio name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Ohio first, so the Oregon filing can go in right away. After approval, your Ohio LLC is registered with Oregon.

Will your Ohio name work for Oregon?

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

Your Oregon agent and the Ohio one

Oregon calls it a registered agent; Ohio says statutory agent. Oregon papers come to us; Ohio's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Oregon and Ohio

Ohio has no annual report for LLCs; Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($275). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Ohio to Oregon

A corporation formed in Ohio files Form 50 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Oregon into Ohio

An LLC formed in Oregon that registers with Ohio files Form 617 with $99 in state fees; no Oregon certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Ohio owners ask about Oregon

Does my Ohio company need to register in Oregon?

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

How much does the Oregon registration cost?

$474 at checkout, with nothing to pay Ohio.

Do I need Ohio'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 Ohio and Oregon?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Ohio yearly report and Oregon's report ($275).

What if I don't register with Oregon?

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

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

Yes: the Ohio statutory agent stays, and ours covers Oregon for year one.

Can I form a new Oregon LLC instead?

Yes, but Ohio keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oregon's Annual Report ($100), and Ohio has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

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