Oregon Foreign Registration / Annual report
Annual reports for an Oregon foreign LLC
A foreign LLC authorized in Oregon files an annual report by its anniversary and pays $275 each time. The anniversary is the yearly date that falls an exact number of years after Oregon filed the application for authority.

What the report contains
The statute names 6 items. They are the LLC's identity (name and home state), its Oregon registered office and agent, its principal office and mailing address, the managers or at least one member, a description of the primary activity, and any other identifying details the Secretary of State requires by rule.
The calendar
The anniversary is fixed by the day Oregon filed the application, not by the day the LLC was formed at home. The information in the report has to describe the position a month before that date, so review the managers, agent and activity a month ahead.
How Oregon reaches you
The Secretary of State mails the annual report form to the address in its records. Not receiving it does not relieve the LLC of the duty to file. The filing itself is made online through the renewal service. The notices address on the application is where renewal notices go, so keep it current.
If the report is incomplete
A report that lacks required information is returned for correction, and the LLC has 45 days after notice to fix it. Do not treat the return as a refusal; it is a request to complete the report.
Changes between anniversaries
An amendment to the annual report updates the information at any time, either after a report is filed and before the next anniversary or before the first report. The amendment carries no Oregon fee. A change of agent or address uses a statement of change, which also carries no fee.
Revocation
Oregon can begin revoking authority when the LLC fails to deliver its annual report, does not pay its fees, does not keep an agent or office, or does not report a change in them, among nine grounds. It sends written notice, and if the LLC does not correct each ground or show it does not exist within 45 days, the Secretary of State revokes the authority. From the revocation date the LLC may not transact business in Oregon, its registered agent's authority ends, and the Secretary of State stands in as its agent for claims arising while it held authority.
Reinstatement
An LLC whose authority was revoked may apply for reinstatement within 5 years. The application names the LLC and the date its authority was revoked, and says the grounds were never present or have been removed. The name must still be available, or a name change is needed. The missed annual fees are paid with a reinstatement fee, and the application can be made online with a card or on paper. Reinstatement is retroactive to the revocation date, so the LLC resumes as if the revocation had never occurred.
Who should sign off internally
Because the report goes on the public record, have the person who manages the LLC confirm the managers, agent and activity before it is filed. The information has to reflect the position thirty days before the anniversary, so a manager who left last week still counts if they were in place then.
Cost over time
Three years of Oregon fees, registration plus three annual reports, total $1,100. A company that has left Oregon can end the cycle by withdrawing for $275; see the withdrawal page.
Corporations and nonprofits
A foreign corporation files its own annual report by its anniversary for $275, giving the president and secretary as well. A foreign nonprofit pays $50 a year.
Annual report questions
Can I file the report early?
The report is due by the anniversary and reflects information current thirty days before it.
How much is the report?
$275 for a foreign LLC.
What if we never get the form?
The duty remains. Oregon mails the form but not receiving it is no excuse.
Does the report change the LLC name?
No. A name change is an amendment to the application.
When is it due?
By the anniversary of the day Oregon filed the application.
What happens if we skip it?
Written notice, then revocation if the ground is not fixed within 45 days.
