Oregon LLC Foreign Registration in Florida

An LLC formed in Oregon that wants to do business in Florida files Form CR2E027, with $125 in state fees. Florida also asks for Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no older than 90 days. We file it with the Department of State, Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), Registration Section using your Oregon records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Oregon to Florida, step by step

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Florida order. Ordered from Oregon on filing day, it easily meets Florida's limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file Form CR2E027
It lists us as your Florida 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 Florida filing. Once Florida approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Will your Oregon name work for Florida?

Florida accepts your Oregon name if it includes Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC. If the Oregon name already ends in LLC, it meets the rule. If another Florida company uses the Oregon name, an alternate name is allowed. Florida can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Your Florida agent and the Oregon one

Oregon and Florida both call it a registered agent. Florida papers come to us; Oregon's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Florida and Oregon

Each year your LLC files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Florida's Annual Report ($138.75). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oregon plus Florida comes to $387.75 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

Questions Oregon owners ask about Florida

Does my Oregon company need to register in Florida?

Yes, once an Oregon business operates there; Florida law lists 13 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Florida registration cost?

$324 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $334 in all (checkout is $125 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Florida wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Florida?

$387.75 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $138.75 to Florida for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Florida?

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Florida can add a civil penalty of up to $1,000 and a fine of at least $500.

Does Florida require a registered agent?

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

Will Florida 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. Florida names must include Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC.

Can I form a new Florida LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Florida later?

Oregon companies leave by filing a Notice of Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority ($25); until then, Florida's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
