Utah Corporation Foreign Registration in Alaska

Alaska registers a corporation from Utah as a foreign corporation on Form 08-414, with $350 in state fees. Alaska may ask for Utah's Certificate of Existence ($12).

From Utah to Alaska, step by step

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

Your Utah name and Alaska's rules

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

Your Alaska agent and the Utah one

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

Staying in good standing in Utah and Alaska

Utah wants the Annual Report / Annual Renewal every year ($18); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Utah to Alaska

An LLC formed in Utah files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Existence ($12)). After that come Utah's Annual Report/Renewal ($18) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Alaska into Utah

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Utah files Utah's registration (no form number) with $59 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Utah to Alaska

Does my Utah company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

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

What are the yearly costs for Utah and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Utah's report ($18) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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