Montana LLC Foreign Registration in Oklahoma

To do business in Oklahoma, an LLC formed in Montana registers there on Form 0081, with $312 in state fees. Oklahoma also wants Montana's Certificate of Existence ($5), dated within 60 days.

How Montana companies register with Oklahoma

Order the Montana certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($5) is ordered from Montana separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. Oklahoma accepts it within 60 days of Montana's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It names us as your Oklahoma registered agent, with your Montana name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Montana's certificate is in hand, Oklahoma's filing goes in. After approval, your Montana LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Your Oklahoma agent and the Montana one

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

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Montana

Each year your LLC files Montana's Annual Report ($20) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Montana plus Oklahoma comes to $194 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Montana to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Montana files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Montana's Annual Report (no fee) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Oklahoma company in Montana

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Montana files Montana's registration (no form number) with $70 in state fees; no Oklahoma certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Montana owners ask about Oklahoma

Does my Montana company need to register in Oklahoma?

Yes, once a Montana 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 $5 to Montana for the Certificate of Existence, $516 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Montana's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants Montana's Certificate of Existence ($5), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Montana and Oklahoma?

$194 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $20 to Montana and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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