From Oklahoma to Virginia, step by step

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Virginia order. Virginia counts one year from the day Oklahoma issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form LLC1052
It names us as your Virginia registered agent, with your Oklahoma name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Oklahoma certificate comes first; then the Virginia filing goes in. After approval, your Oklahoma LLC is registered with Virginia.

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

Does Virginia require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Virginia LLC instead?

Yes, but Oklahoma keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Virginia's Annual Registration Fee ($50), and the original keeps Oklahoma's Annual Certificate.

How do I withdraw from Virginia later?

Oklahoma companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Virginia's report stays due alongside Oklahoma's filings.
