Any company or individual that wishes to do business in Oklahoma under a name other than its registered company name must register a “trade name” (which is the same thing as DBA or “doing business as”). All trade names are registered by filing a Trade Name Report application with the Oklahoma Secretary of State.

For a foreign LLC to do business in Oklahoma, it will need to submit an Application for Registration of Foreign Limited Liability Company with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, pay a $300 state filing fee ($312 if using a credit card), and jump through a few extra hoops before it can legally do business.

Any Oklahoma business that uses a name other than its legal business name is using a DBA (doing business as) name. Oklahoma sole proprietors, general partnerships, LLCs, corporations, and any other type of business can register a DBA. Oklahoma calls DBAs “trade names,” but they're the same thing.

You can easily change your Oklahoma LLC name. The first step is to file a form called the Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State and wait for it to be approved. This is how you officially change your LLC name in Oklahoma. The filing fee for the Articles of Amendment in Oklahoma is $50.

Any company registered in Oklahoma can order certified copies of its official formation documents from the Oklahoma Secretary of State. Processing time is typically 1 business day plus mailing time.

In Oklahoma, your trade name doesn't expire, which makes it easy to maintain. Keep in mind that in many other states, DBA names might only last five or 10 years before you have to renew them. You can also transfer your trade name.
