How West Virginia companies register with Oregon

Have the West Virginia registry number ready
The state checks West Virginia'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 names us as your Oregon registered agent, with your West Virginia name and formation date. No West Virginia paperwork holds up the Oregon filing. After approval, your West Virginia LLC is registered with Oregon.

Your West Virginia name and Oregon's rules

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

Your Oregon agent and the West Virginia one

Oregon calls it a registered agent; West Virginia says agent for service of process. Your current agent for service of process stays for West Virginia; ours takes Oregon's papers and notices.

Does Oregon require a registered agent?

Yes: the West Virginia agent for service of process stays, and ours covers Oregon for year one.

Can I form a new Oregon LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Oregon later?

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