Alaska Corporation Foreign Registration in Missouri

A corporation formed in Alaska that wants to do business in Missouri files Form Corp 42, with $155 in state fees. Missouri also asks for Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no older than 60 days. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division from your Alaska records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Alaska to Missouri, step by step

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Missouri order. Alaska takes days to issue it and Missouri wants it within 60 days, so the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file Form Corp 42
It lists us as your Missouri registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date, with the certificate attached. The Alaska certificate takes days to arrive, so the Missouri filing waits for it. After approval, your Alaska corporation is registered with Missouri.

Will your Alaska name work for Missouri?

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

Your Missouri agent and the Alaska one

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

Yearly filings: Missouri and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Missouri wants the Corporate Registration Report every two years ($15). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Missouri

An LLC formed in Alaska files Form LLC 4 with Missouri ($105 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10)). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Missouri into Alaska

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

Common questions: Alaska to Missouri

Does my Alaska company need to register in Missouri?

Yes, once an Alaska business operates there; Missouri law lists 8 activities that do not count on their own.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Missouri issues one to Alaska corporations once the form is approved.

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

$354 at checkout plus $10 to Alaska for the Certificate of Compliance, $364 in all (checkout is $155 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Alaska's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Missouri wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no more than 60 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Missouri?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Missouri's report ($15, every two years).

What if I don't register with Missouri?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Missouri can add a fine of at least $1,000.

Does Missouri require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Missouri corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Missouri's Corporate Registration Report ($15), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Missouri later?

Alaska companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal; until then, Missouri's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
