How Oregon companies register with South Dakota

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our South Dakota order. South 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 South 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 South Dakota filing. Once South Dakota approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.
