How Oklahoma companies register with Washington

Order the Oklahoma certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($20) is ordered from Oklahoma separately; it is not part of our Washington order. Washington accepts it within 60 days of Oklahoma's issue date, so it is ordered shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Washington registered agent, with your Oklahoma name and formation date and the certificate attached. Once Oklahoma's certificate is in hand, Washington's filing goes in. Once Washington approves it, the Oklahoma company can do business there.
