Oklahoma LLC Foreign Registration in Montana

Montana registers an LLC from Oklahoma as a foreign LLC on an online registration (no form number), with $70 in state fees. Montana needs nothing from Oklahoma: no Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Services using your Oklahoma records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Oklahoma to Montana, step by step

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

Your Oklahoma name and Montana's rules

We check your exact Oklahoma name against Montana's records before filing.

Your Montana agent and the Oklahoma one

Oklahoma and Montana both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Oklahoma; ours takes Montana's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Montana and Oklahoma

Each year your LLC files Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26) and Montana's Annual Report ($20). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Oklahoma plus Montana comes to $195 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Oklahoma to Montana

A corporation formed in Oklahoma files its own registration with Montana ($70 in state fees, the same). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Montana into Oklahoma

An LLC formed in Montana that registers with Oklahoma files Form 0081 with $312 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Existence ($5) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Oklahoma owners ask about Montana

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Montana?

Yes, once an Oklahoma business operates there; Montana does not count a one-off deal finished within 30 days.

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

$269 at checkout, with nothing to pay Oklahoma.

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

No, Montana takes the registration without it.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Montana?

$195 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $26 to Oklahoma and $20 to Montana for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Montana?

An Oklahoma company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Montana can add a penalty of $5 a day, up to $1,000 a year.

Does Montana require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Montana LLC instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Montana's Annual Report ($20), and the original keeps Oklahoma's Annual Certificate.

How do I withdraw from Montana later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal (foreign limited liability company); until then, Montana's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
