Tennessee LLC Foreign Registration in Oregon

To do business in Oregon, an LLC formed in Tennessee registers there on Form 110, with $275 in state fees. Oregon waives the Tennessee Certificate of Existence when it can search those records online for free. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division using your Tennessee records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Tennessee to Oregon, step by step

Have the Tennessee registry number ready
The state checks Tennessee's online records instead of a paper certificate when that search is free; otherwise a Certificate of Existence goes in with the filing.
We prepare and file Form 110
It lists us as your Oregon registered agent, next to your Tennessee name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Tennessee first, so the Oregon filing can go in right away. After approval, your Tennessee LLC is registered with Oregon.

Will your Tennessee name work for Oregon?

We check your exact Tennessee name against Oregon's records before filing.

Agents: Oregon and Tennessee

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

Staying in good standing in Tennessee and Oregon

Each year your LLC files Tennessee's Annual Report ($300) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Tennessee plus Oregon comes to $724 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Tennessee to Oregon

A corporation formed in Tennessee files Form 50 with Oregon ($275 in state fees, the same). After that come Tennessee's Annual Report ($20) and Oregon's Annual Report ($275). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Oregon into Tennessee

An LLC formed in Oregon that registers with Tennessee files Form SS-4233 with $300 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Tennessee owners ask about Oregon

Does my Tennessee company need to register in Oregon?

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

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

$474 at checkout, with nothing to pay Tennessee.

Do I need Tennessee's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Tennessee and Oregon?

$724 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $300 to Tennessee and $275 to Oregon for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oregon?

A Tennessee company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oregon LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

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