From Alaska to New Jersey, step by step

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the Alaska certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Jersey registered agent, with your Alaska name and formation date and the certificate attached. Allow for the days Alaska takes to send the certificate before the New Jersey filing goes in. After approval, your Alaska corporation is registered with New Jersey.
