How to order it

  1. Clear any past-due filings first. The Oklahoma SOS will not issue a certificate while you have unpaid tax or an unfiled report. The state-specific requirements are in the points below.
  2. Order it online. Search your LLC in the Oklahoma portal, request the certificate, and download it. Link in the table above.
  3. Pay the $20 fee. Pay by card at checkout. A small card surcharge usually applies.
  4. Use it inside the recipient's window. The certificate has no state expiration, but banks and other states usually want one dated within the last 30 to 90 days. Order it close to when you need it.

Important to know about Oklahoma

  • The Oklahoma LLC Annual Certificate ($25, due by the anniversary date of formation each year) must be current. Called an "Annual Certificate" not "Annual Report" in Oklahoma. A 60-day grace period applies; after that the LLC is "not in good standing" and cannot maintain a lawsuit.
  • If the LLC is not reinstated within 3 years, Oklahoma moves it to a "Cancelled" status; after 6 years the name becomes available to any other entity.
  • Oklahoma adds a 4% processing fee to online filings, so the actual online cost is $20.80 (rounded).
