How New Mexico companies register with Alaska

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

Will your New Mexico name work for Alaska?

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

Agents: Alaska and New Mexico

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

Questions New Mexico owners ask about Alaska

Does my New Mexico company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$549 at checkout; Alaska may also want New Mexico's Certificate of Good Standing and Compliance, 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 Mexico's certificate if Alaska asks for it.

What are the yearly costs for New Mexico and Alaska?

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

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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