Kansas LLC Foreign Registration in Oklahoma

To do business in Oklahoma, an LLC formed in Kansas registers there on Form 0081, with $312 in state fees. Oklahoma also asks for Kansas's Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50), no older than 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Filing Department from your Kansas records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Kansas to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the Kansas certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50) is ordered from Kansas separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. Oklahoma counts 60 days from the day Kansas issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It lists us as your Oklahoma registered agent, next to your Kansas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Kansas certificate comes first; then the Oklahoma filing goes in. Once Oklahoma approves it, the Kansas company can do business there.

Will your Kansas name work for Oklahoma?

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

Your Oklahoma agent and the Kansas one

Oklahoma calls it a registered agent; Kansas says resident agent. Your current resident agent stays for Kansas; ours takes Oklahoma's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Kansas and Oklahoma

Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($90); Oklahoma wants the Annual Certificate every year ($25). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Oklahoma

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

Registering an Oklahoma company in Kansas

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Kansas files Form FA with $115 in state fees; no Oklahoma certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Kansas owners ask about Oklahoma

Does my Kansas company need to register in Oklahoma?

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

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

$511 at checkout plus $7.50 to Kansas for the Certificate of Good Standing, $518.50 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Kansas's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants it ($7.50), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Oklahoma?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report ($90, every two years) and Oklahoma's report ($25).

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oklahoma LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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