Louisiana Corporation Foreign Registration in Alaska

Alaska registers a corporation from Louisiana as a foreign corporation on Form 08-414, with $350 in state fees. Alaska may ask for Louisiana's Certificate of Good Standing ($25). We file it with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing using your Louisiana records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Louisiana companies register with Alaska

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

Will your Louisiana name work for Alaska?

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

Agents: Alaska and Louisiana

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

Yearly filings: Alaska and Louisiana

Louisiana wants the Annual Report every year ($30); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Louisiana to Alaska

An LLC formed in Louisiana files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($25)). After that come Louisiana's Annual Report ($40) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Louisiana

Common questions: Louisiana to Alaska

Does my Louisiana company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

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

What are the yearly costs for Louisiana and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Louisiana's report ($30) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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