How Oklahoma companies register with Idaho

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

Will your Oklahoma name work for Idaho?

If Idaho's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Oklahoma company. We check your exact Oklahoma name against Idaho's records before filing.

Your Idaho agent and the Oklahoma one

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

Yearly filings: Idaho and Oklahoma

Oklahoma has no annual report for corporations; Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oklahoma to Idaho

An LLC formed in Oklahoma files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20)). After that come Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Idaho into Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Idaho that registers with Oklahoma files Form 0012 with $312 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Oklahoma to Idaho

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Idaho?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Idaho calls it registration for Oklahoma corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

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

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Oklahoma's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Oklahoma's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Idaho?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Oklahoma yearly report and Idaho's report (no fee).

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

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

Will Idaho 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 Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and Oklahoma has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
