Delivery Options

 Because e-mail is not a secure form of communication, we are not able to accept forms or
 payments by email. Please mail forms if online filing is not an option.  

Time Sensitive documents - For time sensitive documents requiring an authentication or apostille we highly recommend the use of expedited shipping through Federal Express. Other forms of mail, including U.S. Postal Service “Express Mail” or “Priority Mail”, do not get delivered directly to our Public Service Counter for expedited processing and are processed as regular mail, which could delay processing of your documents.

Fastest - Online filing - Online filing is the fastest way to register or renew your business registration!  Business registrations submitted through our online systems are processed on the same or next business day. UCC financing statements and amendments are filed when submitted!

Slower - USPS mail - Please allow one to two weeks for processing and acknowledgment of mailed forms.

Courier/Drop-off Service - Documents submitted to our Public Service Counter (255 Capitol Street NE, Suite 151, Salem, OR 97310) by private courier, or express mail courier (FedEx or UPS) are generally processed the day received. 

Expedited Shipping - It is possible to get expedited shipping by sending your documents through FedEx http://www.fedex.com/us/oadr/. We will also send FedEx envelopes that are filled out with your account number and address information as the sender, and the people you want to receive the package as the recipient. Your bill would indicate "Bill Sender."
This site www.fedex.com/us/demo/shipfast shows you how to fill out your airbill online, which is the best way to ensure your packages get to your destination quickly.

Please note: US Postal Service 'Express Mail' and 'Priority Mail' do not deliver directly to our Public Service Counter and are processed as regular mail.

Due to an increase in the number of errors interpreting hand-written documents, the Corporation
Division requests that you type and print all business registration documents. In general, typed
documents will receive priority processing over hand-written documents when submitted for filing.
