Pennsylvania LLC Foreign Registration in Oklahoma

To do business in Oklahoma, an LLC formed in Pennsylvania registers there on Form 0081, with $312 in state fees. Oklahoma also wants Pennsylvania's Subsistence Certificate ($40), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Filing Department from your Pennsylvania records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Pennsylvania to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the Pennsylvania certificate
The Subsistence Certificate ($40) is ordered from Pennsylvania separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. Oklahoma counts 60 days from the day Pennsylvania issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It lists us as your Oklahoma registered agent, next to your Pennsylvania name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Pennsylvania certificate comes first; then the Oklahoma filing goes in. Once Oklahoma approves it, the Pennsylvania company can do business there.

Your Pennsylvania name and Oklahoma's rules

We search Oklahoma's records for Pennsylvania's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Oklahoma agent and the Pennsylvania one

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

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Pennsylvania

Each year your LLC files Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Pennsylvania plus Oklahoma comes to $181 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Pennsylvania to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Pennsylvania files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Pennsylvania's Annual Report ($7) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Oklahoma company in Pennsylvania

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Pennsylvania files Form DSCB:15-412 with $250 in state fees; no Oklahoma certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Pennsylvania owners ask about Oklahoma

How much does it cost to register a Pennsylvania LLC in Oklahoma?

$511 at checkout plus $40 to Pennsylvania for the Subsistence Certificate, $551 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Pennsylvania's certificate of good standing?

$181 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $7 to Pennsylvania and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

A Pennsylvania company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

Yes: the Pennsylvania registered office stays, and ours covers Oklahoma for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Oklahoma LLC instead?

Yes, but Pennsylvania keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26), and the original keeps Pennsylvania's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

Pennsylvania companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal (Foreign Limited Liability Company) ($100); until then, Oklahoma's report stays due alongside Pennsylvania's filings.
