Oregon LLC Foreign Registration in Colorado

To do business in Colorado, an LLC formed in Oregon registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $100 in state fees. Colorado needs nothing from Oregon: no Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Program from your Oregon records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Oregon to Colorado, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Colorado registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date. No Oregon paperwork holds up the Colorado filing. After approval, your Oregon LLC is registered with Colorado.

Will your Oregon name work for Colorado?

If Colorado's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Oregon company. We check your exact Oregon name against Colorado's records before filing.

Your Colorado agent and the Oregon one

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

Staying in good standing in Oregon and Colorado

Each year your LLC files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Colorado's Periodic Report ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oregon plus Colorado comes to $274 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Colorado

A corporation formed in Oregon files its own registration with Colorado ($100 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Colorado's Periodic Report ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Colorado into Oregon

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

Questions Oregon owners ask about Colorado

Does my Oregon company need to register in Colorado?

How much does the Colorado registration cost?

$299 at checkout, with nothing to pay Oregon.

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

No, Colorado takes the registration without it.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Colorado?

$274 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $25 to Colorado for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Colorado?

Colorado can charge an Oregon company up to $100 for each year or part of a year and a civil penalty of up to $5,000.

Does Colorado require a registered agent?

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

Will Colorado 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 Colorado LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Colorado's Periodic Report ($25), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Colorado later?

Oregon companies leave by filing a Statement of Foreign Entity Withdrawal ($10); until then, Colorado's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
