How Oklahoma companies register with Vermont

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. Vermont counts 90 days from the day Oklahoma issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Vermont registered agent, next to your Oklahoma name and formation date, with the certificate attached. Once Oklahoma's certificate is in hand, Vermont's filing goes in. After approval, your Oklahoma LLC is registered with Vermont.
