How Delaware companies register with Oklahoma

Order the Delaware certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($50) is ordered from Delaware separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($175). Mail time from Delaware counts against Oklahoma's limit of 60 days, so the order allows for transit.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It lists us as your Oklahoma registered agent, next to your Delaware name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Allow for the days Delaware takes to send the certificate before the Oklahoma filing goes in. Once Oklahoma approves it, the Delaware company can do business there.

Your Delaware name and Oklahoma's rules

We search Oklahoma's records for Delaware's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Oklahoma agent and the Delaware one

Delaware and Oklahoma both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Delaware; ours takes Oklahoma's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Delaware

Each year your LLC files Delaware's Annual LLC Tax ($400) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Delaware plus Oklahoma comes to $574 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Delaware to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Delaware files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Delaware's Annual Franchise Tax Report ($50) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Oklahoma into Delaware

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Delaware files Delaware's registration (no form number) with $200 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20) dated within 180 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Delaware to Oklahoma

Does my Delaware company need to register in Oklahoma?

Yes, once a Delaware business operates there; Oklahoma law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does it cost to register a Delaware LLC in Oklahoma?

$511 at checkout plus $50 to Delaware for the Certificate of Good Standing, $561 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Delaware's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants it ($50), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Delaware and Oklahoma?

$574 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $400 to Delaware and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

A Delaware company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oklahoma LLC instead?

Yes, but Delaware keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26), and the original keeps Delaware's Annual LLC Tax.

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

Delaware companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal (Foreign Limited Liability Company) ($100); until then, Oklahoma's report stays due alongside Delaware's filings.
