Web Renewal FAQ's

Why does it take two business days to post my renewal?
Business Renewal transactions are posted to our system using a batch posting routine that is processed once per day. When the batch routine is processed, the Business Registry records are updated and the paid renewal will be reflected on our website. While this results in a slight delay in posting the renewal transaction to our website, the renewal is effective on the day that the online payment was made to the Secretary of State.

My renewal is due today. Will my business registration be cancelled if the renewal doesn't post to your system today?
No. We will honor the date the payment is made.

When I have finished my renewal is there something I can see right away?
Upon successful completion of the transaction we suggest that you print the results page for your records. After two business days you can then go to the Business Registry Database to check for the renewal posting online.

I've already mailed my coupon and check to the Corporation Division. Can I go ahead and renew online now?
No. You only need to make one payment for your business registry renewal. Multiple payments may create an overpayment. Renewal transactions paid by coupon and check are posted with the effective date the payment was received at our lockbox facility.

Is it safe to pay my business renewal online with a credit card?
Yes. At the State of Oregon we use the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer technology to encrypt your payment information. As a result, any payment information you enter online is protected, and will not be used by anyone other than the State of Oregon.

How do I get to the page where I can pay to reinstate a company name?
Go to Reinstate a Business for information and links to reinstate your corporation, LLC, or Limited Partnership. An Assumed Business Name cannot be reinstated. Go to Register Online to file a new Assumed Business Name.
