From Oregon to Arizona, step by step

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Arizona order. Ordered from Oregon on filing day, it easily meets Arizona's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form L025
It names us as your Arizona statutory agent, with your Oregon name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Oregon delays the Arizona filing. Once Arizona approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Your Oregon name and Arizona's rules

If Arizona's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Oregon company. We search Arizona's records for Oregon's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Arizona agent and the Oregon one

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

Staying in good standing in Oregon and Arizona

Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($100); Arizona has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Arizona

A corporation formed in Oregon files Form C018 with Arizona ($178.85 in state fees and the $35 required expedite). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Arizona into Oregon

An LLC formed in Arizona that registers with Oregon files Form 110 with $275 in state fees; no Arizona certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Oregon owners ask about Arizona

Does my Oregon company need to register in Arizona?

Yes, once an Oregon business operates there; Arizona registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Arizona registration cost?

$387.30 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $397.30 in all (checkout is $153.30 in state fees, the $35 required expedite and our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Arizona wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

How long does the Arizona registration take?

Typically 5 business days with Arizona's required expedite; Oregon's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Arizona?

Our statutory agent renewal ($149 a year), Oregon's report ($100) and no Arizona yearly report.

What if I don't register with Arizona?

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

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

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

Will Arizona accept my Oregon name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Oregon name at home.

Can I form a new Arizona LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Arizona yearly report, and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

Oregon companies leave by filing Form L026 ($10); until then, both the Arizona registration and Oregon's filings stay in place.
