From Illinois to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the Illinois certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($25) is ordered from Illinois separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. Ordered from Illinois on filing day, it easily meets Oklahoma's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It names us as your Oklahoma registered agent, with your Illinois name and formation date and the certificate attached. Illinois issues the certificate instantly, so the Oklahoma filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Illinois LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Your Oklahoma agent and the Illinois one

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

Staying in good standing in Illinois and Oklahoma

Each year your LLC files Illinois's Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form LLC-50.1) ($75) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Illinois plus Oklahoma comes to $249 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Illinois to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Illinois files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Illinois's Annual Report (Form BCA 14.05) ($75) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

Questions Illinois owners ask about Oklahoma

Does my Illinois company need to register in Oklahoma?

How much does the Oklahoma registration cost?

$511 at checkout plus $25 to Illinois for the Certificate of Good Standing, $536 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Illinois's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants it ($25), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Illinois and Oklahoma?

$249 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $75 to Illinois and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

An Illinois company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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