What Form 110 asks for

For Form 110, Oregon needs:

• The exact name of your LLC as formed
• The state it was formed in and its date of formation
• A Oregon registered agent with a street address there; we fill in ours
• A principal office address
• A home-state certificate only when Oregon cannot look up the home state's records online

Every home state pays the same $474 at checkout for Oregon.

When Oregon expects an LLC to register

Oregon law lists 11 activities that do not, on their own, count as doing business in Oregon; the list gives examples and is not the full test. A one-off transaction completed within 30 days, and not one of a series, does not count either. An office, staff, or regular sales and contracts there are what typically lead to registration.

If you do business in Oregon without registering

An unregistered LLC doing business there cannot start a lawsuit in Oregon courts until it registers. Its contracts stay valid, and it can still defend a case brought against it. Members and managers do not become personally liable just because the LLC skipped registration.

Oregon registered agent rule

Oregon requires every registered foreign LLC to keep a registered agent there. Switching agents later carries no Oregon fee. A resigning agent stays responsible for 31 days after filing the resignation. Our $199 includes the first year of Oregon registered agent service, then $149 a year.

Oregon yearly filings

Once registered, your LLC files the Oregon Annual Report every year, at $275, due Anniversary of the foreign LLC's Oregon registration, every year. The Oregon filing window opens ~45 days before anniversary date and closes Anniversary date. From year two, keeping the Oregon registration costs $424 a year with our registered agent service.

How long Oregon takes

We file Form 110 online with the Oregon Secretary of State.

Leaving Oregon later

If your LLC stops doing business there, it ends the registration by filing a Foreign LLC Amendment/Withdrawal ($275). Until that is filed, Oregon's yearly filing stays due.
