How Oklahoma companies register with Arizona

We prepare and file Form C018
It lists us as your Arizona statutory agent, next to your Oklahoma name and formation date. If Arizona wants the Oklahoma certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Oklahoma corporation is registered with Arizona.

Will your Oklahoma name work for Arizona?

If another Arizona company uses the Oklahoma name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Arizona's records for Oklahoma's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Arizona agent and the Oklahoma one

Arizona calls it a statutory agent; Oklahoma says registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Oklahoma; ours takes Arizona's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Arizona and Oklahoma

Oklahoma has no annual report for corporations; Arizona wants the Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure every year ($45). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

Common questions: Oklahoma to Arizona

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Arizona?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Arizona issues one to Oklahoma corporations once the form is approved.

How much does the Arizona registration cost?

$412.85 at checkout, including the $35 required expedite; Arizona may also want Oklahoma's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Arizona registration take?

Typically 5 business days with Arizona's required expedite, plus time for Oklahoma's certificate if Arizona asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Arizona?

Our statutory agent renewal ($149 a year), no Oklahoma yearly report and Arizona's report ($45).

Does Arizona require a registered agent?

Yes: the Oklahoma registered agent stays, and ours covers Arizona for year one.

Will Arizona accept my Oklahoma name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Oklahoma name at home.

Can I form a new Arizona corporation instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Arizona's Annual Report and Certificate of Disclosure ($45), and Oklahoma has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Arizona later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing Form C025, Application for Withdrawal ($25); until then, Arizona's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
