Oklahoma Corporation Foreign Registration in Nevada

To do business in Nevada, a corporation formed in Oklahoma registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $425 in state fees. Nevada may ask for Oklahoma's Certificate of Good Standing ($20). We file it with the Secretary of State, Commercial Recordings Division using your Oklahoma records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Oklahoma to Nevada, step by step

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

Your Oklahoma name and Nevada's rules

Nevada can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Your Nevada agent and the Oklahoma one

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

Staying in good standing in Oklahoma and Nevada

Oklahoma has no annual report for corporations; Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oklahoma to Nevada

An LLC formed in Oklahoma files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Nevada company in Oklahoma

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

Questions Oklahoma owners ask about Nevada

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Nevada?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout; Nevada may also want Oklahoma's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge, plus time for Oklahoma's certificate if Nevada asks for it. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Oklahoma yearly report and Nevada's report (fee set by the state).

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent, and Oklahoma has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing a Certificate of Dissolution/Withdrawal; until then, Nevada's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
