How Oregon companies register with New Jersey

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the Oregon certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your New Jersey registered agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Oregon issues the certificate instantly, so the New Jersey filing can go in the same day. Once New Jersey approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.
