How Connecticut companies register with Oklahoma

Order the Connecticut certificate
The Certificate of Legal Existence ($50) is ordered from Connecticut separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Oklahoma accepts it within 60 days of Connecticut's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It names us as your Oklahoma registered agent, with your Connecticut name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Connecticut certificate comes first; then the Oklahoma filing goes in. Once Oklahoma approves it, the Connecticut company can do business there.
