Businesses operating in the state of Oklahoma must file business certificates each year. An annual business certificate allows officials with the state of Oklahoma’s Secretary of State Department to know whether any structural changes have occurred. Examples include a change of your registered agent, changes in your corporation’s officers, or a change in your primary address. The Secretary of State will then share information about your corporate structure with companies from other industries, like the legal industry, who rely on this information for their day-to-day operations.
The due dates for your annual certificate depend on how your business is classified. If a corporation is filing in the annual certificate, it is due by July 1. This is the case for profit, nonprofit, and foreign corporations. If a limited liability company or a charity is filing the paperwork, it is due on the last day of the month they became a business. So, for example, if a company originally registered as an LLC on April 2, 2016, their Oklahoma annual certificate would be due April 30th of each year. Businesses will also find that the cost to file an annual certificate varies based on how the state classifies the company.
