How Vermont companies register with Alaska

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

Your Vermont name and Alaska's rules

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

Your Alaska agent and the Vermont one

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

Staying in good standing in Vermont and Alaska

Vermont wants the Annual Report every year ($60); Alaska wants the Biennial Report every two years ($200). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Vermont to Alaska

An LLC formed in Vermont files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($35)). After that come Vermont's Annual Report ($45) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Alaska company in Vermont

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Vermont files Vermont's registration (no form number) with $155 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Compliance ($10) dated within 30 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Vermont to Alaska

Does my Vermont company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

How much does the Alaska registration cost?

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

What are the yearly costs for Vermont and Alaska?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Vermont's report ($60) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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