How Oregon companies register with Minnesota

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Minnesota registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Oregon first, so the Minnesota filing can go in right away. Once Minnesota approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Your Oregon name and Minnesota's rules

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

Agents: Minnesota and Oregon

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

Yearly filings: Minnesota and Oregon

Each year your LLC files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oregon plus Minnesota comes to $249 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Minnesota

A corporation formed in Oregon files its own registration with Minnesota ($220 in state fees). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Minnesota's Annual Renewal ($115). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Minnesota into Oregon

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

Can I form a new Minnesota LLC instead?
