Oregon LLC Foreign Registration in Missouri

To do business in Missouri, an LLC formed in Oregon registers there on Form LLC 4, with $105 in state fees. Missouri also wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division using your Oregon records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Oregon to Missouri, step by step

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Ordered from Oregon on filing day, it easily meets Missouri's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form LLC 4
It names us as your Missouri registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date and the certificate attached. Oregon issues the certificate instantly, so the Missouri filing can go in the same day. Once Missouri approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Your Oregon name and Missouri's rules

We check your exact Oregon name against Missouri's records before filing.

Your Missouri agent and the Oregon one

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

Yearly filings: Missouri and Oregon

Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($100); Missouri has no annual report for LLCs. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Missouri

A corporation formed in Oregon files Form Corp 42 with Missouri ($155 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Missouri into Oregon

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

Questions Oregon owners ask about Missouri

Does my Oregon company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once an Oregon business operates there; Missouri law lists 7 activities that do not count on their own.

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

$304 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $314 in all (checkout is $105 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Missouri wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Missouri?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Oregon's report ($100) and no Missouri yearly report.

What if I don't register with Missouri?

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Missouri LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Missouri yearly report, and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Oregon companies leave by filing a Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, both the Missouri registration and Oregon's filings stay in place.
