Texas LLC Foreign Registration in Oklahoma

To do business in Oklahoma, an LLC formed in Texas registers there on Form 0081, with $312 in state fees. Oklahoma also wants Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Filing Department using your Texas records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Texas to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the Texas certificate
The Certificate of Fact - Status ($15) is ordered from Texas separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. Ordered from Texas on filing day, it easily meets Oklahoma's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It lists us as your Oklahoma registered agent, next to your Texas name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Texas delays the Oklahoma filing. After approval, your Texas LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Your Texas name and Oklahoma's rules

We check your exact Texas name against Oklahoma's records before filing.

Your Oklahoma agent and the Texas one

Texas and Oklahoma both call it a registered agent. Oklahoma papers come to us; Texas's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Texas

Texas wants the Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report every year; Oklahoma wants the Annual Certificate every year ($25). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Texas to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Texas files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Texas's Franchise Tax Report + Public Information Report (no fee) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Oklahoma into Texas

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Texas files Form 304 with $767.13 in state fees and a $50 required expedite; no Oklahoma certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Texas to Oklahoma

Does my Texas company need to register in Oklahoma?

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

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

$511 at checkout plus $15 to Texas for the Certificate of Fact - Status, $526 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Texas's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Texas and Oklahoma?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Texas's report (fee set by the state) and Oklahoma's report ($25).

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oklahoma LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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