From Arizona to Oklahoma, step by step

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

Will your Arizona name work for Oklahoma?

We search Oklahoma's records for Arizona's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Oklahoma and Arizona

Oklahoma calls it a registered agent; Arizona says statutory agent. Oklahoma papers come to us; Arizona's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Arizona

Each year your corporation files Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Arizona plus Oklahoma comes to $204 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

Questions Arizona owners ask about Oklahoma

Does my Arizona company need to register in Oklahoma?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register an Arizona corporation in Oklahoma?

$511 at checkout; Oklahoma may also want Arizona's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Arizona and Oklahoma?

$204 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $45 to Arizona and $10 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

An Arizona 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 Arizona statutory agent stays, and ours covers Oklahoma for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Oklahoma corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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