From Alaska to Wyoming, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Wyoming registered agent, next to your Alaska name and formation date. If Wyoming wants the Alaska certificate, it is ordered first. Once Wyoming approves it, the Alaska company can do business there.

Your Alaska name and Wyoming's rules

We search Wyoming's records for Alaska's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Wyoming and Alaska

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

Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($100); Wyoming wants the Annual Report every year ($60). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Alaska to Wyoming

An LLC formed in Alaska files its own registration with Wyoming ($150 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10)). After that come Alaska's Biennial Report ($100) and Wyoming's Annual Report ($60). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Wyoming into Alaska

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

Common questions: Alaska to Wyoming

Does my Alaska company need to register in Wyoming?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Wyoming issues one to Alaska corporations once the filing is approved.

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

$349 at checkout; Wyoming may also want Alaska's Certificate of Compliance, at extra cost.

How long does the Wyoming registration take?

Wyoming's standard processing takes up to fifteen business days after the date of receipt, plus time for Alaska's certificate if Wyoming asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Alaska and Wyoming?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Alaska's report ($100, every two years) and Wyoming's report ($60).

Does Wyoming require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Wyoming corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Wyoming later?

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