Idaho Corporation Foreign Registration in Alaska

Alaska registers a corporation from Idaho as a foreign corporation on Form 08-414, with $350 in state fees. Alaska may ask for Idaho's Certificate of Existence ($10). We file it with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing using your Idaho records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

From Idaho to Alaska, step by step

We prepare and file Form 08-414
It lists us as your Alaska registered agent, next to your Idaho name and formation date. If Alaska wants the Idaho certificate, it is ordered first. Once Alaska approves it, the Idaho company can do business there.

Will your Idaho name work for Alaska?

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

Agents: Alaska and Idaho

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

Staying in good standing in Idaho and Alaska

Idaho wants the Annual Report every year (no fee); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Idaho to Alaska

An LLC formed in Idaho files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Idaho's Annual Report (no fee) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Idaho

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Idaho files Idaho's registration (no form number) with $103.50 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Idaho to Alaska

Does my Idaho company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Alaska registration cost?

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

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Idaho and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Idaho's report (no fee) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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