Alaska Corporation Foreign Registration in Colorado

To do business in Colorado, a corporation formed in Alaska registers there on an online registration (no form number), with $100 in state fees. Colorado needs nothing from Alaska: no Certificate of Compliance. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Program from your Alaska records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Alaska to Colorado, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Colorado registered agent, with your Alaska name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Alaska first, so the Colorado filing can go in right away. Once Colorado approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Will your Alaska name work for Colorado?

If Colorado's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Alaska company. We search Colorado's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Colorado and Alaska

Alaska and Colorado both call it a registered agent. Colorado papers come to us; Alaska's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Alaska and Colorado

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Colorado wants the Periodic Report every year ($25). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Colorado

An LLC formed in Alaska files its own registration with Colorado ($100 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Colorado's Periodic Report ($25). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Colorado into Alaska

A corporation formed in Colorado that registers with Alaska files Form 08-414 with $350 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Alaska to Colorado

Does my Alaska company need to register in Colorado?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Colorado registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Colorado calls it registration for Alaska corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does it cost to register an Alaska corporation in Colorado?

$299 at checkout, with nothing to pay Alaska.

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

No, Colorado takes the registration without it.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Colorado?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Colorado's report ($25).

Does Colorado require a registered agent?

Yes: the Alaska registered agent stays, and ours covers Colorado for year one.

Will Colorado accept my Alaska name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Alaska name at home.

Can I form a new Colorado corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Colorado's Periodic Report ($25), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Colorado later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Statement of Foreign Entity Withdrawal; until then, Colorado's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
