Texas Corporation Foreign Registration in Alaska

To do business in Alaska, a corporation formed in Texas registers there on Form 08-414, with $350 in state fees. Alaska may ask for Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status ($15). We file it with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing using your Texas records and act as your registered agent there for the first year.

How Texas companies register with Alaska

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

Your Texas name and Alaska's rules

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

Your Alaska agent and the Texas one

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

Staying in good standing in Texas and Alaska

Texas wants the Franchise Tax Report + Public Information Report every year (no fee); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Texas to Alaska

An LLC formed in Texas files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Fact - Status ($15)). After that come Texas's Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Texas

Common questions: Texas to Alaska

Does my Texas company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

$549 at checkout; Alaska may also want Texas's Certificate of Fact - Status, at extra cost.

How long does the Alaska registration take?

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

What are the yearly costs for Texas and Alaska?

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

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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