Information Change Form Instructions
Page Content
The instructions are listed in numerical order to align with the form.
They supplement the instructions on the form itself. This form is used to update names and addresses associated with the business entity, including limited liability companies and corporations, including nonprofits. In case you missed it, all the changes on this form can now be conveniently and quickly made directly online through the "OBR Information Change" option in the
Oregon Business Registry.
REGISTRY NUMBER: Must be entered.
ENTITY TYPE: Choose either DOMESTIC (based in Oregon) or FOREIGN (based in another state)
NAME OF CORPORATION OR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY: Enter the name to confirm the correct registry number.
Only complete the sections being changed, but fully complete them.
BUSINESS ACTIVITY: A brief description of the business activity.
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS: Physical street address. The principal office may not be a PO Box, commercial mail receiving agency, a mail forwarding business, or a virtual office.
THE REGISTERED AGENT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO: An individual or a registered business with an Oregon street address who has agreed to accept legal documents on behalf of the entity. The entity cannot be its own Registered Agent.
REGISTERED AGENT'S PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ADDRESS: This Oregon street address must be suitable for personal delivery of legal papers to the Registered Agent. The registered office may not be a PO Box, commercial mail receiving agency, a mail forwarding business, or a virtual office.
ADDRESS WHERE THE DIVISION MAY MAIL NOTICES: The address where renewal notices will be mailed. (Other types of mail will also be delivered to this publicly available address.)
THE NEW REGISTERED AGENT HAS CONSENTED TO THIS APPOINTMENT. This is necessary if the registered agent changes.
THE STREET ADDRESS OF THE NEW REGISTERED OFFICE AND THE BUSINESS ADDRESS OF THE REGISTERED AGENT ARE IDENTICAL. This is necessary if the registered agent changes.
INDIVIDUAL WITH DIRECT KNOWLEDGE: Any authorized representative who knows what the business does. The address may be a business or mailing address.
PRESIDENT or OWNER(S) (MEMBERS): (Left column only)
SECRETARY or MANAGER(S): (Center column only)
Read the fine print on the form.
- For LLCs, the entry of any Member or Manager will completely replace all of the prior names and addresses listed. So all current Members and Managers must be listed, with an address for each.
- For corporations (including nonprofits), a President and a Secretary must both be listed, with an address for each. (The same individual may fill both roles.)
TREASURER - NONPROFIT ONLY: This is an optional entry for all but a Public Benefit (charity) nonprofit. The Treasurer will display only on this filed document, and not as a system-displayed field on the Business Registry web page.
EXECUTION / SIGNATURE: This legal declaration must be signed. If another form is generated, this exact wording must be used.
