A corporation formed in Oregon that wants to do business in Alaska files Form 08-414, with $350 in state fees. Alaska may ask for Oregon's Certificate of Existence ($10).

From Oregon to Alaska, step by step

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

Your Oregon name and Alaska's rules

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

Your Alaska agent and the Oregon one

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

Yearly filings: Alaska and Oregon

Oregon wants the Annual Report every year ($100); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Oregon to Alaska

An LLC formed in Oregon files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($10)). After that come Oregon's Annual Report ($100) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Alaska into Oregon

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Oregon files Form 50 with $275 in state fees. See that filing.

Questions Oregon owners ask about Alaska

Does my Oregon company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

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

What are the yearly costs for Oregon and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Oregon's report ($100) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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