How Oregon companies register with Delaware

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Delaware order. An instant Oregon certificate reaches Delaware only hours old, well inside the limit of 180 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Delaware registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Oregon delays the Delaware filing. Once Delaware approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Questions Oregon owners ask about Delaware

Does my Oregon company need to register in Delaware?

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

How much does the Delaware registration cost?

$399 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $409 in all (checkout is $200 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Delaware wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 180 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Delaware?

$549 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $300 to Delaware for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Delaware?

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Delaware can add up to $200 for each year or part of a year.

Does Delaware require a registered agent?

Yes: the Oregon registered agent stays, and ours covers Delaware for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Delaware LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Delaware's Annual LLC Tax ($400), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Delaware later?

Oregon companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Delaware's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
