From North Carolina to Alaska, step by step

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

Will your North Carolina name work for Alaska?

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

Your Alaska agent and the North Carolina one

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

Yearly filings: Alaska and North Carolina

North Carolina wants the Annual Report every year ($25); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, North Carolina to Alaska

An LLC formed in North Carolina files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come North Carolina's Annual Report ($203) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Alaska into North Carolina

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with North Carolina files Form B-09 with $253 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions North Carolina owners ask about Alaska

Does my North Carolina company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

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

What are the yearly costs for North Carolina and Alaska?

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

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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