Oklahoma LLC Foreign Registration in Michigan

To do business in Michigan, an LLC formed in Oklahoma registers there on Form CSCL/CD 760, with $50 in state fees. Michigan also wants Oklahoma's Certificate of Good Standing ($20), dated within 30 days. We file it with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Corporations Division from your Oklahoma records, then serve as your resident agent there for year one.

How Oklahoma companies register with Michigan

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Michigan order. Michigan accepts it within 30 days of Oklahoma's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form CSCL/CD 760
It names us as your Michigan resident agent, with your Oklahoma name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Oklahoma certificate comes first; then the Michigan filing goes in. Once Michigan approves it, the Oklahoma company can do business there.

Common questions: Oklahoma to Michigan

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Michigan?

Yes, once an Oklahoma business operates there; Michigan law lists 11 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Michigan registration cost?

$249 at checkout plus $20 to Oklahoma for the Certificate of Good Standing, $269 in all (checkout is $50 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Michigan wants it ($20), no more than 30 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Michigan?

$200 a year: our $149 resident agent renewal, $26 to Oklahoma and $25 to Michigan for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Michigan?

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

Does Michigan require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Michigan LLC instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Michigan's Annual Statement ($25), and the original keeps Oklahoma's Annual Certificate.

How do I withdraw from Michigan later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing a Certificate of Withdrawal ($10); until then, Michigan's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
