From Oklahoma to New Hampshire, step by step

We prepare and file Form 40

Agents: New Hampshire and Oklahoma

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

Oklahoma has no annual report for corporations; New Hampshire wants the Annual Report every year ($100). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oklahoma to New Hampshire

An LLC formed in Oklahoma files Form FLLC-1 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the LLC filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into Oklahoma

Questions Oklahoma owners ask about New Hampshire

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in New Hampshire?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the New Hampshire registration cost?

$301 at checkout; New Hampshire may also want Oklahoma's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and New Hampshire?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Oklahoma yearly report and New Hampshire's report ($100).

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

An Oklahoma company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire corporation instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100), and Oklahoma has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal of a For-Profit Foreign Corporation; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
