New Jersey Corporation Foreign Registration in Alaska

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

From New Jersey to Alaska, step by step

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

Will your New Jersey name work for Alaska?

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

Agents: Alaska and New Jersey

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

Yearly filings: Alaska and New Jersey

New Jersey wants the Annual Report every year ($75); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, New Jersey to Alaska

An LLC formed in New Jersey files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Standing Certificate ($50)). After that come New Jersey's Annual Report ($75) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Alaska into New Jersey

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with New Jersey files New Jersey's registration (no form number) with $100 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10). See that filing.

Questions New Jersey owners ask about Alaska

Does my New Jersey company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$549 at checkout; Alaska may also want New Jersey's Standing Certificate, at extra cost.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for New Jersey and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New Jersey's report ($75) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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