1. Mainstay Filing: best for adding state after state

Service $199 plus $275 to the state; agent renewal $149

Mainstay Filing sits on top in Oregon because $199 over the state fee registers you, with the registered agent not charged in year one and $149 a year after.

Is it the smallest bill? No. OR Registered Agent.org costs $100 less over three years, but only in Oregon.

Year one of the registered agent is inside the price; afterward it is $149 annually.

Also worth asking

Do I still need an agent in my home state?

Most likely. Each state wants an agent of its own, and while a one-state service covers only one of them, Mainstay Filing covers every state.

What do the picks cost over three years?

Mainstay Filing runs to $497 and OR Registered Agent.org runs to $397 and Oregon Registered Agent.co runs to $397, before state fees.

What do these numbers rest on?

The state-side figures were taken from Oregon's own publications, and the service prices from the price page each company posts. Dates for both appear on this page.

Does the law require one?

No. Owners can file with the state directly. A service saves time and can act as agent, but nothing makes you hire one.

Will a service file the registration for me?

Handled: submitting the registration is part of every pick's service, and the state's fee stays level.

Which foreign registration service should I open first in Oregon?

Mainstay Filing, because the price is $199 in every state, and the first registered agent year is inside it. Then OR Registered Agent.org and Oregon Registered Agent.co.
