Wyoming Corporation Foreign Registration in Alaska

To do business in Alaska, a corporation formed in Wyoming registers there on Form 08-414, with $350 in state fees. Alaska may ask for Wyoming's Certificate of Good Standing (free). We file it with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing from your Wyoming records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Wyoming to Alaska, step by step

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

Your Wyoming name and Alaska's rules

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

Your Alaska agent and the Wyoming one

Wyoming and Alaska both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Wyoming; ours takes Alaska's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: Alaska and Wyoming

Wyoming 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, Wyoming to Alaska

An LLC formed in Wyoming files Form 08-0497 with Alaska ($350 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Good Standing (free)). After that come Wyoming's Annual Report ($61.44) and Alaska's Biennial Report ($200). See the LLC filing.

The other way: Alaska into Wyoming

A corporation formed in Alaska that registers with Wyoming files Wyoming's registration (no form number) with $150 in state fees. See that filing.

Common questions: Wyoming to Alaska

Does my Wyoming company need to register in Alaska?

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

Is this a certificate of authority?

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

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

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

What are the yearly costs for Wyoming and Alaska?

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

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

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

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

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