How to order it

  1. Clear any past-due filings first. Check your entity status with the Oregon SOS and resolve the requirements below. Tax clearance may be a separate document.
  2. Order it online. Search your LLC in the Oregon portal, request the certificate, and download it. Link in the table above.
  3. Pay the $10 fee. Confirm payment methods and the total in the official portal; extra fees may apply.
  4. Use it inside the recipient's window. The certificate has no state expiration, but banks and other states usually want one dated within the last 30 to 90 days. Order it close to when you need it.

Ordered through the Oregon Business Registry it arrives in minutes; requested on paper or by fax using form 302 it usually takes 5 to 10 business days.

Important to know about Oregon

  • The Oregon LLC annual renewal must be current: $275 for a foreign LLC, $100 for a domestic one, due on the anniversary date of registration each year. Oregon uses anniversary-date deadlines rather than a fixed calendar date, which is easy to miss.
  • Changes to LLC information (registered agent, address) are filed on a separate Information Change form at no cost. Annual report filing also updates these details if needed.
  • Oregon publishes no expedite fee for this certificate, and online ordering is already immediate. Documents sent by overnight or two-day courier do get priority handling at no extra charge.

Ordering this to register in another state?
