From Maryland to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the Maryland certificate
The Certificate of Status ($20) is ordered from Maryland separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. An instant Maryland certificate reaches Oklahoma only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It names us as your Oklahoma registered agent, with your Maryland name and formation date and the certificate attached. Maryland issues the certificate instantly, so the Oklahoma filing can go in the same day. Once Oklahoma approves it, the Maryland company can do business there.

Will your Maryland name work for Oklahoma?

We check your exact Maryland name against Oklahoma's records before filing.

Agents: Oklahoma and Maryland

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

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Maryland

Each year your LLC files Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1) ($300) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Maryland plus Oklahoma comes to $474 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Maryland to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Maryland files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Maryland's periodic report ($300) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Oklahoma company in Maryland

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Maryland files Maryland's registration (no form number) with $104.50 in state fees and a $50 required expedite, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Maryland owners ask about Oklahoma

Does my Maryland company need to register in Oklahoma?

Yes, once a Maryland 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 $20 to Maryland for the Certificate of Status, $531 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Maryland's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants Maryland's Certificate of Status ($20), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Maryland and Oklahoma?

$474 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $300 to Maryland and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

Yes: the Maryland 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 Maryland keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26), and the original keeps Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1).

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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