From Florida to Alaska, step by step

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

Will your Florida name work for Alaska?

We check your exact Florida name against Alaska's records before filing.

Your Alaska agent and the Florida one

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

Yearly filings: Alaska and Florida

Florida wants the Annual Report every year ($150); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Florida to Alaska

An LLC formed in Florida files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Status ($5)). After that come Florida's Annual Report ($138.75) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Florida

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Florida files Form CR2E007 with $70 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Florida owners ask about Alaska

Does my Florida company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register a Florida corporation in Alaska?

$549 at checkout; Alaska may also want Florida's Certificate of Status, at extra cost.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Florida and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Florida's report ($150) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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