The questions, one by one
Does the law insist on a registered agent?
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
Authority: ORS 63.111. as of October 2026: oregonlegislature.gov
Can just anyone act as agent?
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.
An owner who qualifies can serve without paying anyone.
How much should I budget for an agent?
$99 to $149 a year with the services we recommend, which is $297 to $447 over three years.
No state fee depends on which agent you pick.
What does the agent handle?
It takes delivery of legal papers and state notices for the company in Oregon.
That is the reason the address has to be staffed during business hours. What does service of process mean?
Are there yearly state charges?
Plan on $100 every year for the annual report. The state sets the deadline as anniversary of the LLC's formation in Oregon; put it in your calendar.
as of August 2026: sos.oregon.gov
How did you order the services?
It is how much work the price handles, weighted at 28%, that puts Mainstay Filing first.
Our weighting leans on what three years cost first and how much work the price handles second, then three smaller factors.
If the LLC adds a state, the same agent and the same price follow it; Oregon Registered Agent.co ends at the Oregon border.
