The questions, one by one

Is registering required for my out-of-state LLC?

You register with the Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division before your LLC starts doing business in Oregon.

Without registration, you may see its access to Oregon courts as a plaintiff is cut off (ORS 63.704(1)).

What registers the LLC?

You can skip it. The state's fee is the same whichever way you file.

Who actually submits the registration?

They do. What the state charges is fixed, and only the service fee varies.
