Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oklahoma corporation instead?

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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