Oregon LLC Foreign Registration in Michigan

Michigan registers an LLC from Oregon as a foreign LLC on Form CSCL/CD 760, with $50 in state fees. Michigan also wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), dated within 30 days. We file it with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Corporations Division using your Oregon records and act as your resident agent there for the first year.

From Oregon to Michigan, step by step

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Michigan order. Ordered from Oregon on filing day, it easily meets Michigan's limit of 30 days.
We prepare and file Form CSCL/CD 760
It lists us as your Michigan resident 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 Michigan filing. Once Michigan approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Will your Oregon name work for Michigan?

We search Michigan's records for Oregon's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Michigan agent and the Oregon one

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

Yearly filings: Michigan and Oregon

Each year your LLC files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Michigan's Annual Statement ($25). With our $149 resident agent renewal, Oregon plus Michigan comes to $274 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Michigan

A corporation formed in Oregon files Form CSCL/CD 560 with Michigan ($60 in state fees). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Michigan's Annual Report, Form CSCL/CD-2500 ($25). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Michigan into Oregon

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

Questions Oregon owners ask about Michigan

Does my Oregon company need to register in Michigan?

Yes, once an Oregon business operates there; Michigan law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

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

$249 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $259 in all (checkout is $50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Michigan wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Michigan?

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

What if I don't register with Michigan?

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

Does Michigan require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Michigan LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Michigan later?

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