From New Jersey to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the New Jersey certificate
The Standing Certificate ($50) is ordered from New Jersey separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. It comes as a short form ($50) or a long form ($100). Oklahoma accepts it within 60 days of New Jersey's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It lists us as your Oklahoma registered agent, next to your New Jersey name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once New Jersey's certificate is in hand, Oklahoma's filing goes in. After approval, your New Jersey LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Your Oklahoma agent and the New Jersey one

New Jersey and Oklahoma both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for New Jersey; ours takes Oklahoma's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and New Jersey

Each year your LLC files New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, New Jersey plus Oklahoma comes to $249 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in New Jersey files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Oklahoma into New Jersey

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20). See that filing.

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

Can I form a new Oklahoma LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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