From Ohio to Alaska, step by step

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

Will your Ohio name work for Alaska?

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

Agents: Alaska and Ohio

Alaska calls it a registered agent; Ohio says statutory agent. Your current statutory agent stays for Ohio; ours takes Alaska's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Alaska and Ohio

Ohio has no annual report for corporations; Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Ohio to Alaska

An LLC formed in Ohio files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($5)). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Ohio

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Ohio files Form 530A with $99 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Ohio owners ask about Alaska

Does my Ohio company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does it cost to register an Ohio corporation in Alaska?

$549 at checkout; Alaska may also want Ohio's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Ohio and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Ohio yearly report and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

Yes: the Ohio statutory agent stays, and ours covers Alaska for year one.

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

Yes, but Ohio keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Alaska's Biennial Report ($100), and Ohio has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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