Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Oklahoma yearly report, and the original keeps New Hampshire's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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