How Oklahoma companies register with Vermont

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Vermont counts 30 days from the day Oklahoma issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Vermont registered agent, next to your Oklahoma name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Oklahoma certificate comes first; then the Vermont filing goes in. Once Vermont approves it, the Oklahoma company can do business there.

Common questions: Oklahoma to Vermont

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Vermont?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Vermont registration cost?

$354 at checkout plus $20 to Oklahoma for the Certificate of Good Standing, $374 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Vermont wants it ($20), no more than 30 days old at filing.

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day, once Oklahoma's certificate is in hand.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Vermont?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Oklahoma yearly report and Vermont's report ($250).

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($60), and Oklahoma has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Vermont's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
