Serving Process at C T Corporation System in Salem, Oregon
Located at 780 Commercial Street SE, Suite 100, Salem, OR 97301 in Marion County, C T Corporation System serves as the statutory registered agent for thousands of Fortune 500 corporations, national financial institutions, foreign LLCs, insurance carriers, healthcare networks, and retail chains operating in Oregon. In addition to its own corporate appointments, the Salem CT Corp counter processes statutory service of process for entities listing National Registered Agents, Inc. (NRAI) with the Oregon Secretary of State Corporation Division.
Under Oregon Rule of Civil Procedure (ORCP) 7 D(3)(b)(i), primary service upon a domestic or foreign corporation or Limited Liability Company (LLC) is achieved by personal delivery to the registered agent or to "any clerk on duty in the office of a registered agent." Because our Marion County process servers deliver directly to the on-duty CT Corp intake specialist in Suite 100 and record the exact intake clerk’s full name, title, and timestamp, service is legally complete the moment the packet crosses the counter—with no follow-up mailing required.

Pre-Service Checklist to Prevent CT Corp Rejection Letters
Commercial registered agents in Salem strictly cross-reference the defendant or subpoena target’s name on the face of your Summons, Subpoena, or Writ of Garnishment against the active Oregon Secretary of State Business Registry. If a plaintiff names a generic trade name ("DBA")—such as "Fred Meyer" instead of "Fred Meyer Stores, Inc."—or if the corporation let its Oregon registration lapse and withdrew CT Corp as its agent, CT Corp will issue a formal rejection letter.
Before our Salem process server steps up to the Suite 100 counter, our intake team verifies the target entity’s active Oregon SOS Registry Number and confirms that C T Corporation System (or NRAI) is currently listed as the active Registered Agent of record. For out-of-state attorneys domesticating UIDDA subpoenas under ORCP 55 C, we also handle Marion County Circuit Court clerk issuance just blocks away at 100 High Street NE.
What You Receive After Service at 780 Commercial St SE
Within hours of completing delivery at Suite 100, you receive a court-ready Oregon Certificate / Declaration of Service executed under penalty of perjury pursuant to ORCP 7 F and ORCP 1 E. The declaration states the exact date and time of delivery, confirms primary corporate service on the clerk on duty at the office of the registered agent under ORCP 7 D(3)(b)(i), and is formatted for immediate upload to OJD Odyssey File & Serve.
