OR registered agent

Oregon. A registered agent for $27 a year. Room temperature.

Somewhere in the Oregon code there is a paragraph about registered agents. We pasted the relevant part below. The rest of the page is what Oregon does when the paragraph is not met, which, with us, is the usual outcome, or whatever.

The Oregon annual report, which you could also not do

What Oregon does next

The state keeps a list of things it does to a company whose agent is not really there. Here is the list, pasted, unedited, because editing it would be effort.

How that lands with us

Lukewarm. We read it once. It did not change anything.

Coming back, if you feel like it

There is a fee to bring a Oregon company back. incFACTS has not confirmed the figure, and we did not ask, or whatever.

The quoted passages were captured by incFACTS on 2026-08-01 and compared to the live code on 2026-08-10. Laws get amended. This page mostly does not.

$102 a year stays in your pocket. Do something with it, or whatever.
