Mississippi Corporation Foreign Registration in Alaska

Alaska registers a corporation from Mississippi as a foreign corporation on Form 08-414, with $350 in state fees.

From Mississippi to Alaska, step by step

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

Will your Mississippi name work for Alaska?

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

Agents: Alaska and Mississippi

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

Yearly filings: Alaska and Mississippi

Mississippi wants the Annual Report every year ($25); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Mississippi to Alaska

An LLC formed in Mississippi files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence ($25)). After that come Mississippi's Annual Report (no fee) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Alaska into Mississippi

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Mississippi files Form F0002 with $500 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Mississippi to Alaska

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Alaska registration cost?

$549 at checkout; Alaska may also want Mississippi's Certificate of Good Standing / 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 Mississippi's certificate if Alaska asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Mississippi's report ($25) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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