A registered agent is a business or individual who serves as a company’s representative. They are typically tasked with accepting documents on the LLC’s behalf, including official government correspondence. This can include service of process notices, tax information, communication from the Secretary of State, and notices of lawsuits. An Oklahoma Registered Agent acts as a middle-man, as it is their job to see that members of the LLC receive these documents.
Oklahoma Registered Agent Requirements For an Individual
The Oklahoma Secretary of State’s office gives businesses the options of using an individual as their registered agent. If individuals wish to serve in this capacity, they must meet a few requirements.
- The person must be at least 18 years of age
- The person must be a resident of Oklahoma
- The individual provides an office address that is a physical address within the state
- The person is at this address during regular business hours

- Is a domestic or foreign corporation authorized to conduct business in the state
- The corporation is in good standing with the Secretary of State’s office
- The corporation provides a physical address where they are located throughout the day
- The original company may serve as a registered agent for itself

How To Change Your Oklahoma Registered Agent
If you are a business owner in the state of Oklahoma who is not satisfied with the registered agent currently representing your company, it’s possible that you can make a change.
- Hire a New Agent – Before Oklahoma business owners can remove their current registered agent, they must have first secured a new agent. Because they are making the change to improve their registered agent services, business owners should take their time searching for a new agent.
- File the Required Change of Agent Paperwork with the Oklahoma Secretary of State – Once business owners have found a new registered agent, they can begin the process of updating their information with the Oklahoma Secretary of State. They must complete a Change of Registered Agent and/or Location of Registered Office orm to do so. This is the only way in which an Oklahoma business can change their registered agent. Oklahoma companies cannot do so when filing their annual report.
- Pay the Filing Fee – Business owners must also ensure they include the $26 filing fee when submitting their Change of Agent form. Otherwise, the state of Oklahoma will not process their forms, causing significant delays.
