From Alaska to New Hampshire, step by step

We prepare and file Form 40
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date. If New Hampshire wants the Alaska certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Alaska corporation is registered with New Hampshire.

Will your Alaska name work for New Hampshire?

We check your exact Alaska name against New Hampshire's records before filing.

Your New Hampshire agent and the Alaska one

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

Yearly filings: New Hampshire and Alaska

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

LLC or corporation, Alaska to New Hampshire

An LLC formed in Alaska files Form FLLC-1 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same; no home-state certificate is needed). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the LLC filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into Alaska

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

Questions Alaska owners ask about New Hampshire

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

An Alaska company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Alaska companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal of a For-Profit Foreign Corporation; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
