From Oregon to Vermont, step by step

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. An instant Oregon certificate reaches Vermont only hours old, well inside the limit of 90 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont registered agent, with your Oregon name and formation date and the certificate attached. Oregon issues the certificate instantly, so the Vermont filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Oregon LLC is registered with Vermont.

Your Vermont agent and the Oregon one

Oregon and Vermont both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Oregon; ours takes Vermont's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Vermont and Oregon

Each year your LLC files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Vermont's Annual Report ($170). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oregon plus Vermont comes to $419 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Vermont

A corporation formed in Oregon files its own registration with Vermont ($155 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Vermont's Annual Report ($250). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Vermont into Oregon

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

Common questions: Oregon to Vermont

Does my Oregon company need to register in Vermont?

Yes, once an Oregon business operates there; Vermont law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

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

$354 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $364 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Vermont wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than 90 days old at filing.

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day; Oregon's certificate is an instant download, so there is no wait before filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Vermont?

$419 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $170 to Vermont for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Vermont?

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Vermont can add a penalty of $50 a day, up to $10,000 a year.

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont accept my Oregon name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Oregon name at home.

Can I form a new Vermont LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($45), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

Oregon companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Vermont's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
