How Alaska companies register with Connecticut

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Connecticut registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date. If Connecticut wants the Alaska certificate, it is ordered first. Once Connecticut approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Will your Alaska name work for Connecticut?

We search Connecticut's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Connecticut agent and the Alaska one

Alaska and Connecticut both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Alaska; ours takes Connecticut's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Connecticut and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Connecticut wants the Annual Report every year ($435). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.
