From Alaska to Oklahoma, step by step

We prepare and file Form 0012
It names us as your Oklahoma registered agent, with your Alaska name and formation date. If Oklahoma wants the Alaska certificate, it is ordered first. Once Oklahoma approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Will your Alaska name work for Oklahoma?

We check your exact Alaska name against Oklahoma's records before filing.

Your Oklahoma agent and the Alaska one

Alaska and Oklahoma both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Alaska; ours takes Oklahoma's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Alaska and Oklahoma

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Oklahoma wants the Annual Certificate every year ($10). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Oklahoma

An LLC formed in Alaska files Form 0081 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10)). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Oklahoma company in Alaska

Common questions: Alaska to Oklahoma

Does my Alaska company need to register in Oklahoma?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Oklahoma registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Oklahoma calls it qualification for Alaska corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Oklahoma registration cost?

$511 at checkout; Oklahoma may also want Alaska's Certificate of Compliance, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Oklahoma?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Oklahoma's report ($10).

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Oklahoma can add a penalty of $25 a day, up to $500 a year, a civil penalty of up to $500 and a fine of at least $200.

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

Yes: the Alaska registered agent stays, and ours covers Oklahoma for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Oklahoma corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Oklahoma yearly report, and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Certificate of Withdrawal (Foreign Corporation); until then, Oklahoma's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
