How long does it take to change a registered agent in Oregon?

The Oregon Secretary of State does not publish a standard processing time for a standalone Information Change. It does say that changes reported on an annual report filed online are filed within one business day. Until your change is filed, your current agent stays on the record. If your agent resigns instead, the appointment ends on the 31st day after the Secretary of State files the resignation, unless you appoint a new agent sooner.

What does it cost to change a registered agent in Oregon?

Changing your registered agent in Oregon is free. The Secretary of State's fee schedule lists a change of registered agent or address for an LLC at $0.00, and the Information Change form says there is no processing fee. A registered agent service charges its own annual fee, which varies by provider.

Can I be my own registered agent in Oregon?

Yes, if you live in Oregon and your business office is the registered office: a physical Oregon street address where you can be personally served, not a mail forwarding business or virtual office. Your address then appears on the public record. To name yourself, file an Information Change with the Oregon Secretary of State, online or on the paper Information Change form. There is no fee, and the filing states that the new agent has consented to the appointment.

Will changing my registered agent affect my LLC's good standing?

No. Changing your agent properly does not affect your LLC's standing. Being without one does: Oregon may administratively dissolve an LLC that has no registered agent or office, or that does not report an agent change or resignation, if the problem is not fixed within 45 days after the Secretary of State's written notice. File the change before your current agent stops serving.

Can I file the registered agent change online or must I mail it?

You can do either. The Oregon Secretary of State says you can log in online, choose Information Change, enter your registry number and submit your changes, or send the paper Information Change form by mail, fax or another delivery method (email is not accepted). There is no fee. During your renewal period you can also report the change on your annual report.

How to File

1
Choose Your New Registered Agent
Choose an individual who lives in Oregon, or an Oregon or authorized foreign LLC or corporation, whose business office will be the registered office. It must be a physical Oregon street address where legal papers can be personally served, not a mail forwarding business or virtual office.
2
Confirm your new agent's consent
Oregon law requires the change to state that the new agent has consented to the appointment, and the Information Change form includes that statement. Get the agent's agreement before you file.
3
Complete the Information Change
Use the Oregon Secretary of State's Information Change, online or on the paper form, with your LLC's registry number and the new agent's name and registered office address, signed by an authorized person.
4
No filing fee
The Secretary of State charges no fee to change a registered agent.
5
File with Oregon Secretary of State
File online by logging in and choosing Information Change, or send the paper form by mail or fax to the address on the form. Email is not accepted.
6
Update Your Records
Once the change is filed, update your internal LLC records and tell anyone who relies on your registered agent details, such as your bank, so legal papers keep reaching you.

Registered agent services for Oregon LLCs, by renewal price

Affiliate disclosure: Northwest Registered Agent, Bizee, ZenBusiness and LegalZoom pay us a commission if you sign up through our link, at no extra cost to you. We list only the registered agent services we have an affiliate relationship with, so this is not a survey of the whole market.

This table is not scored. The four are listed cheapest annual renewal first, and the rows below it say which one fits which situation. The scored ranking, and the formula behind it, is on the formation services review, which orders them on three-year cost, BBB rating and Trustpilot score.

Service	With formation, year 1	Annual renewal	BBB	Trustpilot	Privacy
Northwest Registered Agent	Included with $39 formation	$125/yr	A	4.1/5 (297)	Says it does not sell your information; runs its own servers
Bizee	Free year one (some visitors are being shown shorter free periods, so confirm at checkout)	$149/yr	C (unaccredited)	4.8/5 (26,100+)	No data-sharing commitment
ZenBusiness	$99, not included in any plan	$199/yr	A	4.8/5 (32,500+)	Partial
LegalZoom	Not included, $249 extra	$249/yr	A+	4.6/5 (32,900+)	Partial

Note: Bizee holds a C rating from the BBB and is not accredited. BBB's profile carries a live alert describing a pattern of complaints about unexpected charges, difficulty canceling and filing delays, and Bizee has posted a response to it. We flag this so you can make an informed choice.

Prices are each provider's standard published rates; year-one pricing applies when you form your LLC through the same service. BBB and Trustpilot figures as recorded September 15, 2026, not re-checked since, and both sources update continuously. These are the dates the figures were last written to our dataset, which is the most we can show: they are not verification dates.

This guide is general information, not legal or tax advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. It reports what each state publishes about filing deadlines, fees, and the consequences of missing them, with the sources this page cites. It cannot tell you what your own company owes: the date turns on when and where you formed, states change these rules between our reviews, and in several states an entity-level tax falls due in a year when no report does. Confirm your own dates with the filing office named on this page before you rely on one here, because missing a deadline can cost the company its good standing or, in many states, its existence.
