From Louisiana to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the Louisiana certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($25) is ordered from Louisiana separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. Oklahoma counts 60 days from the day Louisiana 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 Louisiana name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Louisiana's certificate is in hand, Oklahoma's filing goes in. After approval, your Louisiana LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Your Oklahoma agent and the Louisiana one

Louisiana and Oklahoma both call it a registered agent. Oklahoma papers come to us; Louisiana's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Louisiana and Oklahoma

Each year your LLC files Louisiana's Annual Report ($40) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Louisiana plus Oklahoma comes to $214 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Louisiana to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Louisiana files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Louisiana's Annual Report ($30) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Oklahoma company in Louisiana

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Louisiana files Form 972 with $190 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Louisiana owners ask about Oklahoma

Does my Louisiana company need to register in Oklahoma?

Yes, once a Louisiana 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 $25 to Louisiana for the Certificate of Good Standing, $536 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Louisiana's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Louisiana and Oklahoma?

$214 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $40 to Louisiana and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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