Our fee and the government fee

Filing an Assumed Name in Oregon involves two costs: our $99 service fee and the state filing fee. There are no hidden charges, no upsells, and no surprise fees.

In Oregon, Assumed Name filings are handled at the state level through the Oregon Secretary of State. The state filing fee is paid separately from our service fee. Your total cost is our $99 service fee plus the state's filing fee.

Oregon filing rules

In Oregon, Assumed Name filings are handled at the state level through the Oregon Secretary of State. Unlike states that require county-level filing, you submit your Assumed Name application directly to the state.

Common questions

What is an Assumed Name?

An Assumed Name — commonly called a DBA (Doing Business As) — is a registration that lets you operate a business under a name different from your legal name. In Oregon, this filing is officially known as an Assumed Name registration. It's required if you want to use a business name that isn't your personal legal name (for sole proprietors and partnerships) or your entity's registered name (for LLCs and corporations).

Can I file an Assumed Name online in Oregon?

Yes. We handle the entire Assumed Name filing process online. You provide your information through our simple form, and we prepare and submit the paperwork to the Oregon Secretary of State on your behalf.

Do I need an Assumed Name if I have an LLC?

It depends. If you want your LLC to operate under a name different from its registered entity name, then yes — you need a Assumed Name filing. If you plan to do business only under your LLC's registered name, you do not need a separate Assumed Name.

How long does it take to get an Assumed Name in Oregon?

Most Assumed Name filings in Oregon are processed within 5-10 business days after submission. Processing times vary depending on state processing volumes.
