How Rhode Island companies register with Oregon

Have the Rhode Island registry number ready
The state checks Rhode Island's online records instead of a paper certificate when that search is free; otherwise a Certificate of Status / Certificate of Good Standing goes in with the filing.
We prepare and file Form 110
It lists us as your Oregon registered agent, next to your Rhode Island name and formation date. No Rhode Island paperwork holds up the Oregon filing. After approval, your Rhode Island LLC is registered with Oregon.

Will your Rhode Island name work for Oregon?

We search Oregon's records for Rhode Island's name on file before anything is filed.

How much does it cost to register a Rhode Island LLC in Oregon?

Do I need Rhode Island's certificate of good standing?

Not when Oregon can search those records online for free; the application then uses your registry number.

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

Yes: the Rhode Island resident agent stays, and ours covers Oregon for year one.

Can I form a new Oregon LLC instead?

Yes, but Rhode Island keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oregon's Annual Report ($100), and the original keeps Rhode Island's yearly report.

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

Rhode Island companies leave by filing a Foreign LLC Amendment/Withdrawal ($275); until then, Oregon's report stays due alongside Rhode Island's filings.
