It lists us as your Oklahoma registered agent, next to your New York name and formation date. If Oklahoma wants the New York certificate, it is ordered first. Once Oklahoma approves it, the New York company can do business there.

Your New York name and Oklahoma's rules

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

Your Oklahoma agent and the New York one

New York and Oklahoma both call it a registered agent. Oklahoma papers come to us; New York's agent is unchanged.

Questions New York owners ask about Oklahoma

Does my New York company need to register in Oklahoma?

Yes, once a New York business operates there; Oklahoma registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register a New York corporation in Oklahoma?

$511 at checkout; Oklahoma may also want New York's Certificate of Status, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for New York and Oklahoma?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New York's report ($9, every two years) and Oklahoma's report ($10).

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

A New York 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 New York 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 York keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Oklahoma yearly report, and the original keeps New York's Biennial Statement.

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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