Oregon search options and record coverage
Oregon Business Registry search locates corporations, LLCs, assumed business names, and foreign entities by name or registry number and shows status, registered agent/address, officers or members/managers, annual reports, and filings. The same registry supports online formations, renewals, amendments, certificates, and copies. Search exact or partial legal name and inspect the entity record.
Checking a business name in Oregon
Oregon requires entity names to be distinguishable and LLC names to use the statutory LLC designator. Capitalization, punctuation, spacing, and generic words may not cure similarity. Acceptance does not clear trademarks, assumed names, professional restrictions, or local rights.
Oregon name reservations
Oregon name reservation uses the current registry form and fee schedule; the accessible extract did not show the complete fee and duration. Reservation is optional filing priority and is not trademark clearance.
DBA, trade names, and fictitious names
Oregon assumed business names are registered statewide through the Secretary's Business Registry. Use https://sos.oregon.gov/business/Pages/default.aspx and the assumed-name workflow; the current fee and renewal period are form-specific. A registered assumed name does not create a separate entity.
What do you need after the search?
- Official proof of standing — find certificate fees and ordering instructions.
- A missed report or inactive registration — check deadlines and reinstatement rules.
- A new business registration — compare Oregon formation and filing fees.
