Wisconsin LLC Foreign Registration in Oklahoma

To do business in Oklahoma, an LLC formed in Wisconsin registers there on Form 0081, with $312 in state fees. Oklahoma also asks for Wisconsin's Certificate of Status ($10), no older than 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Filing Department using your Wisconsin records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Wisconsin companies register with Oklahoma

Order the Wisconsin certificate
The Certificate of Status ($10) is ordered from Wisconsin separately; it is not part of our Oklahoma order. An instant Wisconsin certificate reaches Oklahoma only hours old, well inside the limit of 60 days.
We prepare and file Form 0081
It lists us as your Oklahoma registered agent, next to your Wisconsin name and formation date, with the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Wisconsin delays the Oklahoma filing. After approval, your Wisconsin LLC is registered with Oklahoma.

Agents: Oklahoma and Wisconsin

Wisconsin and Oklahoma both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Wisconsin; ours takes Oklahoma's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Oklahoma and Wisconsin

Each year your LLC files Wisconsin's Annual Report (Form 5 / CORP5) ($25) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($25). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Wisconsin plus Oklahoma comes to $199 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Wisconsin to Oklahoma

A corporation formed in Wisconsin files Form 0012 with Oklahoma ($312 in state fees, the same). After that come Wisconsin's Domestic Business Corporation Annual Report ($25) and Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($10). See the corporation filing.

Registering an Oklahoma company in Wisconsin

An LLC formed in Oklahoma that registers with Wisconsin files Form 521 with $100 in state fees; no Oklahoma certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Wisconsin to Oklahoma

Does my Wisconsin company need to register in Oklahoma?

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

How much does the Oklahoma registration cost?

$511 at checkout plus $10 to Wisconsin for the Certificate of Status, $521 in all (checkout is $312 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Wisconsin's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Oklahoma wants Wisconsin's Certificate of Status ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Wisconsin and Oklahoma?

$199 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Wisconsin and $25 to Oklahoma for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Oklahoma?

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

Does Oklahoma require a registered agent?

Yes: the Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Oklahoma's Annual Certificate ($26), and the original keeps Wisconsin's Annual Report (Form 5 / CORP5).

How do I withdraw from Oklahoma later?

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