Oklahoma LLC Cost

Documents you need

• Articles of Organization — Formation document filed with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, Business Filing Department, which processes LLC filings (new registrations, amendments, mergers, dissolutions, withdrawals for domestic and foreign entities).
• Registered agent and registered office — LLC must designate a registered agent for service of process with an Oklahoma street address (P.O. boxes not acceptable on SOS forms); agent name/address is stated in the Articles and kept current via the Annual Certificate, which confirms the principal place of business address (18 O.S. § 2055.2).
• Annual Certificate — Recurring yearly certificate confirming the LLC is an active business, including its principal place of business address; $25 fee (see annual_report).

How forming works in Oklahoma

1. Line up the agent: Registered agent and registered office — LLC must designate a registered agent for service of process with an Oklahoma street address (P.O. boxes not acceptable on SOS forms); agent name/address is stated in the Articles and kept current via the Annual Certificate, which confirms the principal place of business address (18 O.S. § 2055.2).
2. File the Articles of Organization with the Oklahoma Secretary of State — the filing fee is $100 at the cheapest channel (file online at the official portal linked below).

Annual report & ongoing costs

Oklahoma requires a annual report — fee $25.

Annual Certificate due each year on the anniversary date of filing the Articles of Organization (18 O.S. § 2055.2(B)); Secretary of State sends notice at least 60 days before the anniversary to the LLC's last known email address of record

Oklahoma does not use the term 'annual report' for LLCs; the recurring filing is the Annual Certificate under 18 O.S. § 2055.2(A): every domestic and registered foreign LLC 'shall file a certificate each year... and shall pay an annual certificate fee of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00)'. Failure to file/pay within 60 days after the due date: the LLC ceases to be in good standing (§ 2055.2(D)).

After you form

1. Get the free EIN from the IRS, then open a business bank account so company and personal money stay separate.
2. Stay compliant: the annual report costs $25 — diary the due date before you form.

• Employer Identification Number (EIN) — free from the IRS; a federal step that is the same in every state.
