From Oregon to Arkansas, step by step

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Arkansas order. An instant Oregon certificate reaches Arkansas only hours old, well inside the limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file Form FL-01
It lists us as your Arkansas registered agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Oregon delays the Arkansas filing. Once Arkansas approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Will Arkansas 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 Arkansas LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Arkansas's Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report ($150), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Arkansas later?

Oregon companies leave by filing Form FL-04; until then, Arkansas's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
