How Massachusetts companies register with Oklahoma

Order the Massachusetts certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($25) is ordered from Massachusetts separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. It comes as a short form ($12) or a long form ($25). Oklahoma counts 60 days from the day Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Massachusetts's certificate is in hand, Oklahoma's filing goes in. After approval, your Massachusetts LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Your Massachusetts name and Oklahoma's rules

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

Your Oklahoma agent and the Massachusetts one

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

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Massachusetts

Each year your LLC files Massachusetts's Limited Liability Company Annual Report ($520) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Massachusetts plus Oklahoma comes to $694 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Massachusetts to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Massachusetts files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Massachusetts's Annual Report ($125) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Oklahoma into Massachusetts

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Massachusetts files Massachusetts's registration (no form number) with $520 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Massachusetts to Oklahoma

Does my Massachusetts company need to register in Oklahoma?

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

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

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

Do I need Massachusetts's certificate of good standing?

$694 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $520 to Massachusetts and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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