Oklahoma LLC Foreign Registration in Florida

Florida registers an LLC from Oklahoma as a foreign LLC on Form CR2E027, with $125 in state fees. Florida also wants Oklahoma's Certificate of Good Standing ($20), dated within 90 days. We file it with the Department of State, Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), Registration Section using your Oklahoma records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Oklahoma companies register with Florida

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Florida order. Florida counts 90 days from the day Oklahoma issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form CR2E027
It names us as your Florida registered agent, with your Oklahoma name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Oklahoma certificate comes first; then the Florida filing goes in. Once Florida approves it, the Oklahoma company can do business there.

Florida costs for Oklahoma companies

Item	Amount
State fees, paid at order	$125
Certificate of Good Standing, paid to Oklahoma	$20

Will your Oklahoma name work for Florida?

Florida accepts your Oklahoma name if it includes Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC. If the Oklahoma name already ends in LLC, it meets the rule. If Florida's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Oklahoma company. Florida can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Agents: Florida and Oklahoma

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

Common questions: Oklahoma to Florida

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Florida?

Yes, once an Oklahoma business operates there; Florida law lists 13 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Florida registration cost?

$324 at checkout plus $20 to Oklahoma for the Certificate of Good Standing, $344 in all (checkout is $125 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Florida wants it ($20), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Florida?

$313.75 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $26 to Oklahoma and $138.75 to Florida for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Florida?

An Oklahoma company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Florida can add a civil penalty of up to $1,000 and a fine of at least $500.

Does Florida require a registered agent?

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

Will Florida accept my Oklahoma name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Oklahoma name at home. Florida names must include Limited Liability Company, L.L.C. or LLC.

Can I form a new Florida LLC instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75), and the original keeps Oklahoma's Annual Certificate.

How do I withdraw from Florida later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing a Notice of Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority ($25); until then, Florida's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
