How Oregon companies register with Maryland

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Maryland order. An instant Oregon certificate reaches Maryland only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Maryland resident agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Oregon issues the certificate instantly, so the Maryland filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Oregon LLC is registered with Maryland.

Your Maryland agent and the Oregon one

Maryland calls it a resident agent; Oregon says registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Oregon; ours takes Maryland's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Oregon and Maryland

Each year your LLC files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1) ($300). With our $149 resident agent renewal, Oregon plus Maryland comes to $549 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Maryland

A corporation formed in Oregon files its own registration with Maryland ($104.50 in state fees and the $50 required expedite, the same). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Maryland's Form 1 — Business Entity Annual Report and Business Personal Property Return ($300). See the corporation filing.

Registering a Maryland company in Oregon

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Maryland require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Maryland LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1) ($300), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Maryland later?

Oregon companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation of a Foreign LLC (no state fee); until then, Maryland's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
