From Florida to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the Florida certificate
The Certificate of Status ($5) is ordered from Florida separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. An instant Florida certificate reaches Oklahoma only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It lists us as your Oklahoma registered agent, next to your Florida name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Florida issues the certificate instantly, so the Oklahoma filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Florida LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Your Florida name and Oklahoma's rules

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

Agents: Oklahoma and Florida

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

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Florida

Each year your LLC files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Florida plus Oklahoma comes to $312.75 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Florida to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Florida files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Florida's Annual Report ($150) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Oklahoma company in Florida

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Florida files Form CR2E027 with $125 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Florida owners ask about Oklahoma

Does my Florida company need to register in Oklahoma?

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

How much does the Oklahoma registration cost?

$511 at checkout plus $5 to Florida for the Certificate of Status, $516 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Florida's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants Florida's Certificate of Status ($5), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Florida and Oklahoma?

$312.75 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $138.75 to Florida and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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