How Oregon companies register with North Dakota

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our North Dakota order. North Dakota wants the Oregon certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your North Dakota registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Oregon delays the North Dakota filing. Once North Dakota approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.
