About Oregon Secretary of State Business Search

What is the Oregon SOS Business Search?

The Oregon Secretary of State business search is the official government database that contains information about all business entities registered in Oregon. This includes corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and other business structures operating in OR.

When you search "secretary of state or business search," you're looking for this official database to verify business registrations, check entity status, and conduct due diligence on Oregon businesses.

What Information Can You Find?

•Business entity name and type (Corporation, LLC, etc.)
•Registration date and current status
•Registered agent information
•Principal office address
•Officers and directors (for corporations)
•Annual report filing status

Using Oregon business registry search and UCC search

Business name and registry search runs on the Secretary of State egov host (egov.sos.state.or.us). UCC search and related Corporation Division UCC tools run on the secure sos host (secure.sos.state.or.us). The two systems use different URLs and security checks—use registry search for entities and the UCC search home for financing statements and file-number lookups.

SOS information

Oregon business entities & Secretary of State workflows

Search business registry

Open the business name search screen and complete any captcha or security verification the site requires. Search by the name fields the form provides and open the business record for status, registry numbers, and agent details. If you see a support or bot-protection error, retry later or use the contact path the page lists with any support ID shown.

Registry search on egov does not replace the UCC search application when you are checking liens against a debtor.

File or manage business registrations

Formations, annual reports, and amendments use Corporation Division online filing linked from sos.oregon.gov. Follow current fees and any login requirements before you pay.

UCC information

Financing statements & lien search

UCC search

From the UCC search home, choose expanded or standard UCC information search or file number search as your task requires. Search by debtor or secured party for individuals or organizations using the fields provided, and note the filings-through date displayed on the page. Match names to how parties filed, and follow any browser guidance the division publishes on the live site.

Tips if the site feels confusing

egov.sos.state.or.us and secure.sos.state.or.us are different applications; a clear registry record does not prove the UCC index was searched.
Bot-protection or captcha steps can block automated access; if the entity search fails, follow the on-page support ID instructions rather than retrying blindly.
Official fees, certified search rules, and forms belong to the Oregon Secretary of State Corporation Division and your advisors, not third-party summaries.

Form a business

Starting a business in Oregon

Entity search on this page helps you verify names and good standing. When you are ready to form a new LLC, corporation, or nonprofit, use the same next steps we link from Business Lookup: confirm the name on the official register, choose a structure with your CPA or attorney if needed, then file through the state agency (and plan for publication, registered agent, and any industry licenses that apply).

Typical state filing fees

These amounts can change when agencies update their fee schedules. Double-check the current fee list, forms, and deadlines on the official Oregon business filing site yourself before you pay or submit anything.
