Common questions

Is a registered agent required?

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

Legal basis: ORS 63.111. oregonlegislature.gov (October 2026)

Who qualifies?

An Oregon resident, or a corporation or LLC formed in Oregon or authorized there, whose business office is the registered office. The agent has to consent.

If you meet that rule, you can name yourself and pay no agent fee.

What do agents charge?

$99 to $149 a year from the services we'd use, or $297 to $447 over three years.

State fees stay the same whichever agent you name.

What is the agent for?

Its job is to receive legal documents and official notices for the company in Oregon.

If nobody accepts the papers, a court case can go on without you. Read: service of process

What else comes due each year?

One recurring filing: the annual report ($100, yearly). It falls due anniversary of the LLC's formation in Oregon.

sos.oregon.gov (August 2026)

What put the first pick first?

Mainstay Filing wins on what the price takes off your plate, our 30% criterion.

Most of our weighting sits on three-year cost and what the price takes off your plate.

It is the only pick that works in every state, which matters the day you register somewhere else.

Other quick questions

May I name myself?

What sources do you use?

Oregon's own publications for the state side, published company prices for the rest.

Do I have to use a service?

No law requires one. A service is a convenience.

Which one should I hire in Oregon?

Mainstay Filing tops our list because it costs $149 a year, $149 at renewal, and one account covers any state; Oregon Registered Agent.co and OR Registered Agent.org come next.
