How Oklahoma companies register with Georgia

We prepare and file Form CD 241
It names us as your Georgia registered agent, with your Oklahoma name and formation date. No Oklahoma paperwork holds up the Georgia filing. After approval, your Oklahoma LLC is registered with Georgia.

Will your Oklahoma name work for Georgia?

Georgia can hold a name for 30 days for $25 before you file.

Agents: Georgia and Oklahoma

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

Yearly filings: Georgia and Oklahoma

Each year your LLC files Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26) and Georgia's Annual Registration ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oklahoma plus Georgia comes to $235 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

The other way: Georgia into Oklahoma

An LLC formed in Georgia that registers with Oklahoma files Form 0081 with $312 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Oklahoma to Georgia

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Georgia?

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

How much does the Georgia registration cost?

$434 at checkout, with nothing to pay Oklahoma.

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

No, Georgia takes Form CD 241 without it.

How long does the Georgia registration take?

Georgia's online processing takes about 7 business days; nothing comes from Oklahoma first. Paid expedite: 2-business-day $120, same-day $275.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Georgia?

$235 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $26 to Oklahoma and $60 to Georgia for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Georgia?

An Oklahoma company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Georgia can add a penalty of $500.

Does Georgia require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Georgia LLC instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Georgia's Annual Registration ($60), and the original keeps Oklahoma's Annual Certificate.

How do I withdraw from Georgia later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority; until then, Georgia's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
