How Alaska companies register with Utah

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

Your Alaska name and Utah's rules

If another Utah company uses the Alaska name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Utah's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Your Utah agent and the Alaska one

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

Yearly filings: Utah and Alaska

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Utah wants the Annual Report / Annual Renewal every year ($18). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Utah

An LLC formed in Alaska files its own registration with Utah ($59 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10)). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18). See the LLC filing.

Registering a Utah company in Alaska

Common questions: Alaska to Utah

Does my Alaska company need to register in Utah?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Utah calls it registration for Alaska corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

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

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want Alaska's Certificate of Compliance, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Utah?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Utah's report ($18).

Does Utah require a registered agent?

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

Will Utah accept my Alaska name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Alaska name at home.

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

Alaska companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of a Foreign Profit or Non-Profit Corporation; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside Alaska's filings.
