The Oregon rule
Who can serve: 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.
The address: The address has to be a physical street address in Oregon where papers can be handed over. A commercial mail receiving agency, mail-forwarding business or virtual office is not accepted.
Whether the LLC itself can be named is not settled by our sheet; check with the Oregon Secretary of State. Changing agents in Oregon has no state fee. Source: ORS 63.111, checked October 20, 2026.
The trade-offs
- Your Oregon address goes on the public filing.
- Papers are handed to you at that address, so you need to be there when the state’s rule says.
- If you move, you file a change of agent (no state fee in Oregon).
