From Oklahoma to New Jersey, step by step

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the Oklahoma certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Jersey registered agent, with your Oklahoma name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Oklahoma's certificate is in hand, New Jersey's filing goes in. Once New Jersey approves it, the Oklahoma company can do business there.
