Oregon Registered Agent

Appointing An Individual

Oregon allows you to appoint a consenting individual to serve as your registered agent. Individuals must meet all of the following requirements at all times:

• The individual must be a resident of Oregon.
• The individual must make available their name and street address to be included in the public records of Oregon as your registered agent. The street address, called the registered office, must be a physical address in Oregon. A P.O. Box or mailbox service is almost never allowed since the agent must personally sign for your document.
• The individual must be available at the address listed during business hours to sign for documents.

When deciding on your Oregon registered agent, consider that individuals travel, meet with clients, and take time off. Any absence increases your risk of missing the delivery of important legal notices. A registered agent company is always available to receive documents on behalf of your business.
