From Delaware to Alaska, step by step

We prepare and file Form 08-414
It names us as your Alaska registered agent, with your Delaware name and formation date. If Alaska wants the Delaware certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Delaware corporation is registered with Alaska.

Your Delaware name and Alaska's rules

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

Agents: Alaska and Delaware

Delaware and Alaska both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Delaware; ours takes Alaska's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Delaware and Alaska

Delaware wants the Annual Franchise Tax Report every year ($50); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Delaware to Alaska

An LLC formed in Delaware files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($50)). After that come Delaware's Annual LLC Tax ($400) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Delaware

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Delaware files Delaware's registration (no form number) with $245 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Delaware owners ask about Alaska

Does my Delaware company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

Yes: Alaska issues one to Delaware corporations once the form is approved.

How much does the Alaska registration cost?

$549 at checkout; Alaska may also want Delaware's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

Alaska says online filings post as soon as they are paid, plus time for Delaware's certificate if Alaska asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Delaware and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Delaware's report ($50) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

Delaware companies leave by filing Form 08-502; until then, Alaska's report stays due alongside Delaware's filings.
