Do you need to Renew a Registration or FIle an Entirely New Registration?

All current Calendar Year 2024 lobbyist or liaison registrations automatically expire December 31, 2024. This expiration will not prevent currently registered lobbyists and liaisons from filing their final report for registration year 2024 which is due between January 1 and January 15, 2025.

 

New Lobbyists or Liaisons:  If you have not been registered to lobby in Oklahoma since Calendar year 2015, or if you have never registered in Oklahoma, you must register with the Commission between December 1, 2024 and January 15, 2025 if you are going to engage in lobbying activities in 2025.
