Oregon Foreign Registration / From Wyoming

Bringing a Wyoming LLC into Oregon

A Wyoming LLC that applies in Oregon pays $275, then $275 yearly, on top of Wyoming's $60 minimum: $335 across both states in year one. Wyoming offers free online business search, so the Wyoming registry number may be all Oregon needs.

Wyoming and Oregon charges

Entry	Already formed	$275
Each year	$60 minimum	$275 annual report
Home paper	$0 online	Registry number, or a certificate if needed
Agent	Wyoming agent	Separate Oregon agent

The Wyoming registry route

Oregon waives the home certificate when the home official offers free internet access to a searchable database of LLC registrations, and Wyoming's online search is free. For a Wyoming LLC that means you give Oregon the Wyoming filing number and nothing more. If Oregon cannot verify the LLC that way, a Wyoming certificate costs $0 online and must be under 60 days old.

The name

The Oregon record carries the Wyoming name exactly, including punctuation. If an active Oregon name is close, the name appears with "A Limited Liability Company of Wyoming" after it, and that is the name the LLC uses in Oregon.

Two calendars

Wyoming's annual report and Oregon's anniversary report are separate duties on separate dates. Oregon's report must show information that matches the position 30 days before the anniversary, a good prompt to review the LLC's managers, agent and activity.

Wyoming privacy and Oregon records

What you file in Oregon becomes public record and can be searched by business name or individual name. Members and managers may be left off, while the agent's name and street address show on the record.

What Oregon verifies online

With the Wyoming filing number Oregon looks up the LLC in Wyoming's free database and confirms it is active. If the number does not return a match, check that you used the Wyoming filing number rather than a federal or state tax number.

Wyoming holding companies

A Wyoming LLC that is only a holding company for an Oregon operating company should check whether it is transacting business itself. The statute lists owning property without more as an exclusion; operating the property is a different matter.

Choosing the filing date

Wyoming's annual report falls on the LLC's anniversary month at home. Oregon's falls on its own anniversary, set by the day the application is filed. Pick a filing day that spreads the two.

Why Wyoming LLCs register in Oregon

A Wyoming LLC that opens an Oregon office, hires there or does regular work in the state is the case Oregon's rule is aimed at. The Wyoming formation stays where it is. Oregon adds a second record with the Oregon agent and an annual report.

What a Wyoming LLC gives Oregon

The Wyoming name and filing number, the date of organization, whether the LLC is perpetual, the principal office address, the Oregon registered agent, the management type and a short description of the activity. The Wyoming agent does not appear. The members need not appear.

Wyoming costs that stay put

The $60 Wyoming minimum is a separate yearly cost that Oregon activity does not change. Leaving Oregon by withdrawal, for $275, ends the $275 Oregon report while Wyoming keeps billing its minimum.

Corporations and nonprofits from Wyoming

A Wyoming corporation uses its own application for $275 and a Wyoming nonprofit pays $50. Each of them uses the corporation page, where a corporation names its president and secretary.

Two agents

The Wyoming registered agent does not serve in Oregon. Oregon needs its own agent at an Oregon street address suitable for personal delivery of legal papers. A later change of agent carries no Oregon fee.
