Oregon LLC Foreign Registration in Virginia

Virginia registers an LLC from Oregon as a foreign LLC on Form LLC1052, with $100 in state fees. Virginia also wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), dated within one year. We file it with the State Corporation Commission, Office of the Clerk using your Oregon records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Oregon companies register with Virginia

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Virginia order. An instant Oregon certificate reaches Virginia only hours old, well inside the limit of one year.
We prepare and file Form LLC1052
It lists us as your Virginia registered agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Oregon issues the certificate instantly, so the Virginia filing can go in the same day. Once Virginia approves it, the Oregon company can do business there.

Agents: Virginia and Oregon

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

Yearly filings: Virginia and Oregon

Each year your LLC files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Virginia's Annual Registration Fee ($50). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oregon plus Virginia comes to $299 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

The other way: Virginia into Oregon

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

Questions Oregon owners ask about Virginia

Does my Oregon company need to register in Virginia?

Yes, once an Oregon business operates there; Virginia law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Virginia registration cost?

$299 at checkout plus $10 to Oregon for the Certificate of Existence, $309 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oregon's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Virginia wants Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10), no more than one year old at filing.

$299 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $50 to Virginia for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Virginia?

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Virginia can add a civil penalty of up to $5,000.

Does Virginia require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Virginia LLC instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Virginia's Annual Registration Fee ($50), and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Virginia later?

Oregon companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Virginia's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
