From Oklahoma to Washington, step by step

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Washington order. Washington accepts it within 60 days of Oklahoma's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Washington registered agent, with your Oklahoma name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Oklahoma's certificate is in hand, Washington's filing goes in. After approval, your Oklahoma corporation is registered with Washington.

Common questions: Oklahoma to Washington

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Washington registration cost?

$399 at checkout plus $20 to Oklahoma for the Certificate of Good Standing, $419 in all (checkout is $200 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Washington wants it ($20), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Washington?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Oklahoma yearly report and Washington's report ($70).

Does Washington require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Washington corporation instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Washington's Annual Report ($70), and Oklahoma has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Washington later?

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