From Oklahoma to Delaware, step by step

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Delaware order. Delaware counts 180 days from the day Oklahoma issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Delaware registered agent, with your Oklahoma name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Oklahoma certificate comes first; then the Delaware filing goes in. After approval, your Oklahoma LLC is registered with Delaware.

Questions Oklahoma owners ask about Delaware

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Delaware?

Yes, once an Oklahoma business operates there; Delaware registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Delaware registration cost?

$399 at checkout plus $20 to Oklahoma for the Certificate of Good Standing, $419 in all (checkout is $200 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Delaware wants it ($20), no more than 180 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Delaware?

$475 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $26 to Oklahoma and $300 to Delaware for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Delaware?

An Oklahoma company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Delaware can add up to $200 for each year or part of a year.

Does Delaware require a registered agent?

Yes: the Oklahoma registered agent stays, and ours covers Delaware for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Delaware LLC instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Delaware's Annual LLC Tax ($400), and the original keeps Oklahoma's Annual Certificate.

How do I withdraw from Delaware later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing a Certificate of Cancellation of Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, Delaware's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
