The Oklahoma agent, in sequence

  1. Procedure 1: Oklahoma's rule

    Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.

    Specimen: Reference sos.ok.gov, October 2026

  2. Procedure 2: Establish who may serve

    The LLC itself, an Oklahoma resident, or a corporation, LLC or partnership formed in Oklahoma or qualified there. Authority: 18 O.S. § 2010.

  3. Procedure 3: Know the registered office rule

    The address has to be a street address in Oklahoma, at a business office that is open during regular business hours. P.O. boxes are not accepted.

    TipAll ranked services supply the Oklahoma office address.

  4. Procedure 4: Act as agent or hire one

    Eligible owners may name themselves, and the ranked agents charge $99 to $149 annually.

  5. Procedure 5: Name the agent in the filing

    The Articles of Organization (Form 0073) carries the agent's name and address; the Oklahoma Secretary of State also receives change filings from LLCs that replace their agent.

    Specimen: Reference sos.ok.gov, October 2026

  6. Procedure 6: Keep the agent record current

    Oklahoma learns the agent's details from the annual certificate ($25, every year, due anniversary date of the filing of the Articles of Organization), and state notices about it reach the registered agent.
