From Alaska to Nevada, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Nevada registered agent, with your Alaska name and formation date. If Nevada wants the Alaska certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Alaska corporation is registered with Nevada.

Your Alaska name and Nevada's rules

Nevada can hold a name for $25 before you file.

Your Nevada agent and the Alaska one

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

Staying in good standing in Alaska and Nevada

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Nevada wants the Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent every year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Nevada

An LLC formed in Alaska files its own registration with Nevada ($425 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Nevada's periodic report ($350). See the LLC filing.

Common questions: Alaska to Nevada

Does my Alaska company need to register in Nevada?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Nevada calls it qualification for Alaska corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Nevada registration cost?

$624 at checkout; Nevada may also want Alaska's Certificate of Compliance, at extra cost.

How long does the Nevada registration take?

Nevada says most online filings are processed the same day at no extra charge, plus time for Alaska's certificate if Nevada asks for it. Paid expedite: 2-hour $500, 1-hour $1,000.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Nevada?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Nevada's report (fee set by the state).

Does Nevada require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Nevada corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Nevada's Annual List of Officers, Directors and Registered Agent, and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Nevada later?

Alaska companies leave by filing a Certificate of Dissolution/Withdrawal; until then, Nevada's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
