Oklahoma Amended Certificate of Limited Partnership

Oklahoma Statutes, § 18-2012.2, state that every Oklahoma LLC may adopt an operating agreement, but it isn't required by the Secretary of State. Despite it not being required, there are several reasons it is recommended to have one.

You can just file an amendment to change the name of your Oklahoma LLC. Doing this will inform the Secretary of State about your plan. Additionally, your LLC also needs to change its name on the records with the state and government.

You can always change the purpose of your LLC later (by filing an amendment), but it's really not required. You just need to list an LLC business purpose during the initial filing for your LLC.

Creating your amendment is simple. You will need a written document stating that you are modifying the existing operating agreement and setting out the amendment as clearly as possible. Ensure that each member (or approving member) signs the amendment and then keep it with your other official company documents.

Check state law. Refer to your forming documents. Identify what you need to change and what you need to change it. Find out whether you need to report your changes. Submit within the required timeframe. Provide the appropriate information and documentation. Submit your paperwork.

The Articles of Amendment, also sometimes called a Certificate of Amendment, is a document filed with your state of incorporation (or any states in which your company has foreign qualified to transact business), to enact a specific change to the information included in your company's incorporation or qualification

If you wish to change the name of your LLC, you can do so in the first section of your articles of amendment. If you submit your documents by mail, processing will take between three and five business days. However, your documents will be processed the same day if you deliver them in person.

You can file your Oklahoma LLC's Annual Certificate by mail or online. The state filing fee is $25 in both cases. The Oklahoma Secretary of State prefers electronic filings, so that is what we recommend. However, if you're not very comfortable on the computer, we recommend filing by mail.

To reinstate your Oklahoma entity you need to file Certificate of Renewal, Revival, Extension and Restoration (for corporations) or Application for Reinstatement (for LLCs) with Oklahoma Secretary of State and pay any fees, missing annual reports and penalties.
