How Washington companies register with Oklahoma

Order the Washington certificate
The Certificate of Existence ($20) is ordered from Washington separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. Ordered from Washington 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 Washington name and formation date and the certificate attached. Washington issues the certificate instantly, so the Oklahoma filing can go in the same day. Once Oklahoma approves it, the Washington company can do business there.

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Oklahoma LLC instead?

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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