Kansas Corporation Foreign Registration in Alaska

To do business in Alaska, a corporation formed in Kansas registers there on Form 08-414, with $350 in state fees. Alaska may ask for Kansas's Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50). We file it with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing from your Kansas records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Kansas companies register with Alaska

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

Your Kansas name and Alaska's rules

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

Agents: Alaska and Kansas

Alaska calls it a registered agent; Kansas says resident agent. Your current resident agent stays for Kansas; ours takes Alaska's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Kansas and Alaska

Kansas wants the Business Entity Information Report every two years; Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to Alaska

An LLC formed in Kansas files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($7.50)). After that come Kansas's Information Report ($90) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Kansas

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Kansas files Form FA with $115 in state fees; no Alaska certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Kansas to Alaska

Does my Kansas company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$549 at checkout; Alaska may also want Kansas'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 Kansas's certificate if Alaska asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report (fee set by the state, every two years) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

Yes: the Kansas resident agent stays, and ours covers Alaska for year one.

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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