Oklahoma LLC Foreign Registration in Hawaii

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that wants to do business in Hawaii files Form FLLC-1, with $51 in state fees. Hawaii also wants Oklahoma's Certificate of Good Standing ($20), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), Business Registration Division using your Oklahoma records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Oklahoma to Hawaii, step by step

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Hawaii order. Hawaii accepts it within 60 days of Oklahoma's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It names us as your Hawaii registered agent, with your Oklahoma name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Oklahoma's certificate is in hand, Hawaii's filing goes in. Once Hawaii approves it, the Oklahoma company can do business there.

Questions Oklahoma owners ask about Hawaii

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Hawaii?

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

How much does it cost to register an Oklahoma LLC in Hawaii?

$250 at checkout plus $20 to Oklahoma for the Certificate of Good Standing, $270 in all (checkout is $51 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Hawaii wants it ($20), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Hawaii?

$190 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $26 to Oklahoma and $15 to Hawaii for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Hawaii?

An Oklahoma company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Hawaii require a registered agent?

Yes: the Oklahoma registered agent stays, and ours covers Hawaii for year one.

Can I form a new Hawaii LLC instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Hawaii's Domestic Limited Liability Company Annual Report (Form C5) ($12.50), and the original keeps Oklahoma's Annual Certificate.

How do I withdraw from Hawaii later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing Form FLLC-2; until then, Hawaii's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
