How Alaska companies register with Vermont

Order the Alaska certificate
The Certificate of Compliance ($10) is ordered from Alaska separately; it is not part of our Vermont order. With Alaska taking days and Vermont counting 30 days from issue, the order is timed for both.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Vermont 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 Vermont filing goes in. After approval, your Alaska corporation is registered with Vermont.

Common questions: Alaska to Vermont

Does my Alaska company need to register in Vermont?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$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: Vermont wants Alaska's Certificate of Compliance ($10), no more than 30 days old at filing.

How long does the Vermont registration take?

Vermont's online processing takes less than one business day, plus a few days for Alaska's certificate before filing.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Vermont?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Vermont's report ($250).

Does Vermont require a registered agent?

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

Will Vermont 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 Vermont corporation instead?

Yes, but Alaska keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Vermont's Annual Report ($60), and the original keeps Alaska's Biennial Report.

How do I withdraw from Vermont later?

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