The form factors and the coupling constant of the $B_s B^* K $ and $B_s B K^*$ vertices are calculated using the QCD sum rules method. Three point correlation functions are computed considering both the heavy and light mesons off-shell in each vertex, from which, after an extrapolation of the QCDSR results at the pole of the off-shell mesons, we obtain the coupling constant of the vertex. The form factors obtained have different behaviors but their simultaneous extrapolation reach the same value of the coupling constant $g_{B_s B^* K}=8.41 \pm 1.23 $ and $g_{B_s BK^*}=3.3 \pm 0.5$. We compare our result with other theoretical estimates and compute the uncertainties of the method.
