What you get with an Oregon lookup
- Oregon SOS entity record — name, status, entity type, formation date, registered agent + address, principal office, and officers/managers where the state exposes them.
- USDOT / FMCSA carrier verification — for trucking deals, we pull the carrier's authority status, MC#, fleet size and MCS-150 history, plus the FMCSA SAFER snapshot. Auto-matched to the SOS legal name when applicable.
- OFAC SDN screening — optional: add it to your search to check the company name against the Treasury sanctions list.
- DBA / Fictitious Name finder — a separate tool that points you to the county/town clerk's own search (or the statewide registry) where a DBA is filed in Oregon.
- One merged PDF — cover sheet + SOS record + USDOT snapshot + supporting docs, all in a credit-file-ready packet.
How Oregon files business entities
Oregon's SOS Corporation Division at sos.oregon.gov has one of the cleanest entity-search interfaces on the West Coast. Oregon was the first state to recognize benefit corporations as a distinct entity type, back in 2013.

How DBAs work in Oregon
Oregon files Assumed Business Names (ABNs) at the state SOS exclusively — no county-level DBA filing required. Multnomah County (Portland) has its own optional county recorder filing, but the state-level ABN is the legally-binding registration.
Credit-underwriting gotchas in Oregon
Oregon LLCs owe a $100 annual report fee due on the formation anniversary — Oregon's annual fees are tied to the formation month, not a fixed date. Missing the annual report triggers 'Inactive' status after 45 days past due, and administrative dissolution after a year delinquent. Foreign LLCs operating in Oregon must register or face penalties retroactive to the start of operations.
Practical Oregon reference
Filing fees: $100 LLC formation fee + $100 annual report (due on formation anniversary)
Officer visibility: Officers, members, and registered agents are visible on the public detail page. Filed documents are downloadable as PDFs.
Oregon DBA / assumed-name search
Oregon keeps its assumed-name filings in a statewide registry rather than at the county clerk. A DBA is only a trade name — it carries no owner and no status, which is why it belongs next to the entity record above, not instead of it.
