This form is used to change a registered agent or office.
The Oregon Statement of Change of Registered Office or Agent is an official document that must be filed with the Secretary of State's office when a business entity in Oregon wishes to update or modify its registered office address or registered agent. This statement is crucial for maintaining accurate and up-to-date information with the state. The registered office is the official address where the business entity receives important legal and official documents, such as tax notices, court summons, and other official correspondence. The registered agent is an individual or entity appointed to receive these documents on behalf of the business entity. Both the registered office and agent must be located within the state of Oregon. There are several types of Oregon Statement of Change of Registered Office or Agent: 1. Change of Registered Office Address: This type of statement is filed when the business entity wants to update or modify its registered office address. The new address must be a physical street address within Oregon and cannot be a PO Box. 2. Change of Registered Agent: If the business entity wants to replace its existing registered agent with a new individual or entity, a Change of Registered Agent statement must be filed. The new registered agent must be eligible to serve as a registered agent in Oregon, which typically involves being a resident of the state or a business entity authorized to conduct business in Oregon. 3. Change of Registered Office Address and Agent: In certain cases, a business entity may decide to simultaneously change both its registered office address and its registered agent. In such instances, a combined Change of Registered Office Address and Agent statement must be filed with the Secretary of State's office. Filing the Oregon Statement of Change of Registered Office or Agent requires specific information to be included. This typically includes the name of the business entity, its business identification number or registry number, the current registered office address and agent details, and the new registered office address and agent details, if applicable. The statement must be signed and dated by an authorized representative of the business entity. It is crucial for businesses to keep their registered office and agent information updated, as failure to receive legal notices or official correspondence can have serious consequences. Therefore, whenever a change occurs in the registered office address or agent of an Oregon business entity, it is necessary to promptly file the appropriate Statement of Change with the Secretary of State's office to ensure compliance with state regulations.
