From Michigan to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the Michigan certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Michigan separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. Oklahoma counts 60 days from the day Michigan 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 Michigan name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Michigan's certificate is in hand, Oklahoma's filing goes in. After approval, your Michigan LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Oklahoma costs for Michigan companies

Will your Michigan name work for Oklahoma?

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

Agents: Oklahoma and Michigan

Oklahoma calls it a registered agent; Michigan says resident agent. Oklahoma papers come to us; Michigan's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Michigan

Each year your LLC files Michigan's Annual Statement ($25) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Michigan plus Oklahoma comes to $199 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Michigan to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Michigan files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Michigan's Annual Report, Form CSCL/CD-2500 ($25) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Oklahoma into Michigan

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Michigan files Form CSCL/CD 760 with $50 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Michigan to Oklahoma

Does my Michigan company need to register in Oklahoma?

Yes, once a Michigan 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 $10 to Michigan for the Certificate of Good Standing, $521 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Michigan's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants it ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Michigan and Oklahoma?

$199 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Michigan and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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