From Oregon to Georgia, step by step

We prepare and file Form CD 241
It lists us as your Georgia registered agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date. No Oregon paperwork holds up the Georgia filing. Once Georgia approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Your Oregon name and Georgia's rules

Georgia can hold a name for 30 days for $25 before you file.

Your Georgia agent and the Oregon one

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

Staying in good standing in Oregon and Georgia

Each year your LLC files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Georgia's Annual Registration ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oregon plus Georgia comes to $309 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Common questions: Oregon to Georgia

Does my Oregon company need to register in Georgia?

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

How much does it cost to register an Oregon LLC in Georgia?

$434 at checkout, with nothing to pay Oregon.

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

No, Georgia takes Form CD 241 without it.

How long does the Georgia registration take?

Georgia's online processing takes about 7 business days; nothing comes from Oregon first. Paid expedite: 2-business-day $120, same-day $275.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Georgia?

$309 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $60 to Georgia for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Georgia?

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Georgia can add a penalty of $500.

Does Georgia require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Georgia LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Georgia's Annual Registration ($60), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Georgia later?

Oregon companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority; until then, Georgia's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
