From Maryland to Alaska, step by step

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

Will your Maryland name work for Alaska?

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

Your Alaska agent and the Maryland one

Alaska calls it a registered agent; Maryland says resident agent. Alaska papers come to us; Maryland's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Maryland and Alaska

Maryland wants a periodic report every year ($300); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Maryland to Alaska

An LLC formed in Maryland files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Status ($20)). After that come Maryland's Business Entity Annual Report (Form 1) ($300) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Maryland

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Maryland files Maryland's registration (no form number) with $104.50 in state fees and a $50 required expedite. See that filing.

Common questions: Maryland to Alaska

Does my Maryland company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

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

What are the yearly costs for Maryland and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Maryland's report ($300) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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