Who needs articles of organization (LLC) and the annual certificate in Oklahoma?

Issued by Oklahoma Secretary of State, at step 1 of 6 in the opening sequence: set up the business.

Every kind of business in Oklahoma

The Oklahoma table lists this for every kind of business.

File online through the Secretary of State’s business filing portal. The articles name a registered agent with an Oklahoma street address. The annual certificate is a short confirmation, not a report; miss it and the LLC loses good standing and is eventually cancelled.
