Oklahoma registers a corporation from Oregon as a foreign corporation on Form 0012, with $312 in state fees. Oklahoma may ask for Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10).

From Oregon to Oklahoma, step by step

We prepare and file Form 0012
It lists us as your Oklahoma registered agent, next to your Oregon name and formation date. If Oklahoma wants the Oregon certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Oregon corporation is registered with Oklahoma.

Your Oregon name and Oklahoma's rules

We check your exact Oregon name against Oklahoma's records before filing.

Your Oklahoma agent and the Oregon one

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

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Oregon

Each year your corporation files Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oregon plus Oklahoma comes to $259 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Oklahoma

An LLC formed in Oregon files Form 0081 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Oklahoma company in Oregon

Common questions: Oregon to Oklahoma

Does my Oregon company need to register in Oklahoma?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$511 at checkout; Oklahoma may also want Oregon's Certificate of Existence, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Oklahoma?

$259 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to Oregon and $10 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

An Oregon company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Oklahoma can add a penalty of $25 a day, up to $500 a year, a civil penalty of up to $500 and a fine of at least $200.

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oklahoma corporation instead?

Yes, but Oregon keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one has no Oklahoma yearly report, and the original keeps Oregon's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

Oregon companies leave by filing a Certificate of Withdrawal (Foreign Corporation); until then, Oklahoma's report stays due alongside Oregon's filings.
