Utah LLC Foreign Registration in Oklahoma

To do business in Oklahoma, an LLC formed in Utah registers there on Form 0081, with $312 in state fees. Oklahoma also wants Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12), dated within 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Filing Department using your Utah records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Utah to Oklahoma, step by step

Order the Utah certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($12) is ordered from Utah separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. It comes as a short form ($12) or a long form ($20). Ordered from Utah on filing day, it easily meets Oklahoma's limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It names us as your Oklahoma registered agent, with your Utah name and formation date and the certificate attached. Utah issues the certificate instantly, so the Oklahoma filing can go in the same day. After approval, your Utah LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Your Oklahoma agent and the Utah one

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

Staying in good standing in Utah and Oklahoma

Each year your LLC files Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Utah plus Oklahoma comes to $192 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Utah to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Utah files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

The other way: Oklahoma into Utah

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Utah files Utah's registration (no form number) with $59 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($20) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Questions Utah owners ask about Oklahoma

Does my Utah company need to register in Oklahoma?

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

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

$511 at checkout plus $12 to Utah for the Certificate of Existence, $523 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Utah's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12), no more than 60 days old at filing.

$192 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $18 to Utah and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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