From Oklahoma to Pennsylvania, step by step

We prepare and file Form DSCB:15-412
It lists us as your Pennsylvania registered office, next to your Oklahoma name and formation date. No Oklahoma paperwork holds up the Pennsylvania filing. After approval, your Oklahoma LLC is registered with Pennsylvania.

Will your Oklahoma name work for Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania accepts your Oklahoma name if it includes the term company, limited or limited liability company, an abbreviation of one of those terms, or words of like import used in the home state. We check your exact Oklahoma name against Pennsylvania's records before filing.

Your Pennsylvania agent and the Oklahoma one

Pennsylvania calls it a registered office; Oklahoma says registered agent. Pennsylvania papers come to us; Oklahoma's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Pennsylvania and Oklahoma

Each year your LLC files Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26) and Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7). With our $149 registered office renewal, Oklahoma plus Pennsylvania comes to $182 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oklahoma to Pennsylvania

A corporation formed in Oklahoma files Form DSCB:15-412 with Pennsylvania ($250 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Pennsylvania into Oklahoma

An LLC formed in Pennsylvania that registers with Oklahoma files Form 0081 with $312 in state fees, plus the Subsistence Certificate ($40) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Oklahoma to Pennsylvania

Does my Oklahoma company need to register in Pennsylvania?

Yes, once an Oklahoma business operates there; Pennsylvania law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Pennsylvania registration cost?

$449 at checkout, with nothing to pay Oklahoma.

Do I need Oklahoma's certificate of good standing?

No, Pennsylvania takes Form DSCB:15-412 without it.

What are the yearly costs for Oklahoma and Pennsylvania?

$182 a year: our $149 registered office renewal, $26 to Oklahoma and $7 to Pennsylvania for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Pennsylvania?

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

Does Pennsylvania require a registered agent?

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

Will Pennsylvania accept my Oklahoma name?

Yes, if no company there already uses it and it includes the term company, limited or limited liability company, an abbreviation of one of those terms, or words of like import used in the home state.

Can I form a new Pennsylvania LLC instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7), and the original keeps Oklahoma's Annual Certificate.

How do I withdraw from Pennsylvania later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing a Statement of Withdrawal of Foreign Registration; until then, Pennsylvania's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
