Verify any Oregon business in seconds.

Oregon SOS entity data + USDOT/FMCSA carrier records + OFAC SDN screening — all in one verification packet. Real-time pull from the official OR SOS, normalized into a clean credit-file PDF.

What you get with a 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, MCS-150 history, and BASIC scores. Auto-matched to the SOS legal name when applicable.
  • OFAC SDN screening — every search runs the company name against the Treasury sanctions list. Clear-result PDFs are signed.
  • DBA / Fictitious Name registries — surfaces the county/town clerk where this entity would file a DBA in Oregon, plus the statewide registry when one exists.
  • 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.
