From Oregon to Washington, step by step

Order the Oregon certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($10) is ordered from Oregon separately; it is not part of our Washington order. Ordered from Oregon on filing day, it easily meets Washington's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Washington registered agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Oregon issues the certificate instantly, so the Washington filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Oregon LLC is registered with Washington.
